Im countering sort of a weird problem at this moment. I made a simple login form, it works halfway thru. You can indeed write your name in and such but once you hit the Submit button, I get some " Undefined index: nameX" symbols eventho I have added the variable for it before the function and such.
This is the content of the sql_connection.sql (well part of it you have to see atleast)
/* Registration */
$nameX = $_POST['name'];
$query = isRegistered($_POST['name']); //this will check if they are valid or not
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if(!empty($_POST['name'])) {
if($query == true) {
echo "Welcome back";
}
}
else {
echo "No accounts found";
}
}
function isRegistered($name) {
global $handler;
$query = "SELECT ID FROM players WHERE Username= '".$name."'";
$result = mysqli_query($handler, $query);
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) != 0) {
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
return true;
}
}
else {
return false;
}
}
and this is the actual form
<div id="login">
<form action="includes/sql_connection.php" method="get">
First name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
<input id="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Sign-Up">
</form>
</div>
The error
Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\\wamp\\www\\php\\includes\\sql_connection.php on line 101
and the error line (line: 101)
$nameX = $_POST['name'];
A couple of quick observations
Your form triggers a GET
request, but your code is looking at POST
inputs. You'll never see anything. John Conde pointed that out.
You also have a logic flaw
$nameX = $_POST['name'];
$query = isRegistered($_POST['name']);
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if(!empty($_POST['name'])) {
You're using $_POST['name']
first, then checking whether it's non-empty later. You're accessing form inputs first, then checking whether there are any inputs later (with the isset
). That will cause your isRegistered
to be called with undefined variables when there is no form input. This order should be reversed.
