Undefined index in PHP

Notice: Undefined index: NAME in C:\xampp\htdocs\pmsx\lib\config.php on line 107

That's the exact error. Here's my code on the file. Thanks for those will help.

here's my line 107:

//echo "<br>" . $cdata;
// create the proper tree node if NAME attribute is set
if ($this->attr["NAME"] != "")
    $this->tags[count($this->tags) - 1] = $this->attr["NAME"];

exactly what does this have to with sql at all? sounds more like a DOM operation. did you check if the node you're on HAS a NAME attribute? — Marc B

fwiw, your second line can be simplified $this->tags[] = $this->attr["name"]; — Scott Evernden

@ScottEvernden, for what I can tell, the original line overwrites the last element, whereas yours adds. Though, it looks like the original line just has an error. — Michael Krelin - hacker

Use isset() first, to check, whether the property exists at all.

if ( isset( $this->attr["NAME"] ) && ($this->attr["NAME"] != "") ) {
    $this->tags[count($this->tags) - 1] = $this->attr["NAME"];
}

You error says, that the property NAME does not exist at all in the array attr!

NAME isn't a defined index. You probably want:

if( isset($this->attr['NAME']) && $this->attr['NAME'] != "" ) {
    // ...

Funny. The post is edited by ComFreek. Are you related? ;-)

What you probably want is !empty($this->attr['NAME']) instead of $this->attr["NAME"]!="". Otherwise it errors out when NAME index is… well… undefined.
