Question

I would like to insert datetime stamp into a variable once the if-condition is satisfied. But I get the following error:

Notice: Undefined index: status in C:\wamp\www\business\edit_log_widget.php on line 55

The following is the php code:

<?php
    include 'scripts/init.php';
    include 'html/header.php';
    $page = 'servers';

    $id =$_SESSION['logid'];
    $query = "SELECT *FROM log WHERE logid = $id";
    $query_submit = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error);
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_submit);
?>

<div class="article">
    <h2><span>Edit Logs</span></h2>
    <div class="clr"></div>
    <form action="" method="POST" >
    <p>
        <table border="0">

                <td><input type="text" name="task_name" size="45" value="<?php echo $row['task_name'] ?>"/></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td><label for="description">Problem Description:*</label></td>
