Question

I have been trying to get a form in HTML/PHP to process to into mysql / phpmyadmin table which is on the numyspace server but for reasons unknown to myself i get the following error message.

Notice: Undefined index: Username in
/var/www/vhosts/numyspace.co.uk/web_users/home/~unn_w11034582/public_html/CaseProject/registerUserProcess.php

PostCode, EmailAddress, Password, DateOfCreation) VALUES (”, ”, ”,
”, ”, ”, ”, ”)

As it stands where it says Insert into User ()
User is my table within the database that i would like the information to get inserted into. (all spellings and caps are in the correct place) i am not sure why all the values are blank as it looks like it hasn’t gathered the information from the cells provided.

Any helps tips or pointers would be greatly appropriated thanks guys
DateOfCreation is something im messing with atm maybe should take it out as its trying to convert the “i accept terms and conditions” check box to a time stamp to store the date when the user initially created an account. Code is in early stages and does not contain any validation in what so ever can provide code if needed just googled the error message and it seems there’s alot of different types for this error message.

RegisterUserProcess.php
<?php
    include ("connection.inc.php");
    connect();

        $username = $_POST['Username'];
        $firstName = $_POST['Forename'];
        $lastName = $_POST['Surname'];
        $address = $_POST['Address'];
        $postCode = $_POST['PostCode'];
        $emailAddress = $_POST['EmailAddress'];
        $password = $_POST['Password'];
        $termsConditions = $_POST['DateOfCreation'];

            $sql="INSERT INTO User (Username, Forename, Surname, Address, PostCode, EmailAddress, Password, DateOfCreation)
            VALUES ('$username', '$firstName', '$lastName', '$address', '$postCode', '$emailAddress', '$password', '$termsConditions')";

                mysql_query($sql);
                print("Thank You " +$firstName+" "+$lastName + " You Have Successfully Created An Account!");
                echo $sql;

?>

RegisterUser2.php

Answer 1

You will need to add an isset conditional around your tags (or something similar to that effect)

if (isset($DateOfCreation)) {
  // logic here...
}

Updated after reference to your updated question, you will need to change your code to the below (do this on every variable)

if (isset($_POST['Username'])) { 
  $username = $_POST['Username'];
}
