Question

I am working on a php project which is already been developed. Now my work is to change some css files. So to do this I just downloaded all the files from the server along with the database. After all the setup I am getting an error when I am browsing the page is

Notice: Undefined index: lang_selected in language.php on line 38

and the piece of code which is doing this stuff is

if((!isset($_GET['q'])) && ($_SESSION['lang_selected'] == "") && ($ln == 1))
  {

    $language = $setshow['es_lang'];

   if($language=="France")
    $lan="french";

    else if($language=="Croatian")
    $lan="croatian";

    else if($language=="Dutch")
    $lan="dutch";

    else if($language=="German")
    $lan="german";

    else if($language=="Greek")
    $lan="greek";

    else if($language=="Italian")
    $lan="italian";

    else if($language=="Indonesian")
    $lan="indonesian";

    else if($language=="Russia")
    $lan="russian";

    else if($language=="Spain")
    $lan="spanish";

    else if($language=="Usa")
    $lan="english_v1";

    else if($language=="China")
    $lan="chinese";

    else if($language=="Japanese")
    $lan="japanese";

    else if($language=="Korea")
    $lan="korean";

    else if($language=="Saudia")
    $lan="arabic";

    else if($language=="Norwegian")
    $lan="norwegian";

    else if($language=="Malaysian")
    $lan="malaysian";

    else if($language=="Persian")
    $lan="persian";

    else if($language=="Portuguese")
    $lan="portuguese";

    else if($language=="Serbain")
    $lan="serbain";

    else if($language=="Swedish")
    $lan="swedish";

    else if($language=="Thai")
    $lan="thai";

    else if($language=="Vietnamese")
    $lan="vietnamese";

    else if($language=="Turkey")
    $lan="turkish";

    unset($_SESSION['lang']);
   $_SESSION['lang']=$lan;
   $_SESSION['language']=$language;

  }

So can some one kindly tell me why this piece of error is coming and how to solve this issue? Any help and suggestions will be appreciable. Thanks

To test if an array index exists without triggering a notice use isset().

if(isset($array['index'])) doSomething();
