Hello,
i have and index.php file which i have a menu and i want to unclude
some others file in it, using some parameteres passed from the url.
But i am getting an error "Notice: Undefined index: action.... in line
etc"
Heres my code:
....
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=store">Store</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile">Profile</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
....
in another line inside the same index.php file i have:
....
<?php
if ($_GET['action']=="profile")
include("profile.php");
else if ($_GET['action']=="store")
include("store.php");
else if ($_GET['action']=="login")
include("user_login_form.php");
else
echo "Welcome screen";
?>
....
When i am in the home address i get an error "Notice: Undefined index:
action" for all 3 lines i use $_GET['action']. When i click on the
other links eg store or profile the include is being done
successfully.
What am i doing wrong??
Thanks in advance
Kostas

Your entire PHP script is executed and terminates before the page is
displayed on the browser. So the first time though, $_GET['action']
doesn't exist. When someone clicks on a link, then the action parameter
is passed to the script and $_GET['action'] has a value.
Any time you're expecting something from the browser you should check to
see if it has been set with isset(), i.e.
if (isset($_GET['action'])) ...
And only try to process the parameter if it has been set.
