Hi guys,

Need your help here. I get this error on chapter 5 page 151

Notice: Undefined index: step in /var/www/debian.com/public_html/movie/form4.php on line 19

Code as downloaded from the site:

<?php
// Debug info Display
function debugDisplay(){
?>
<PRE>
$_POST
<?php
   print_r($_POST);
?>
$_GET
<?php
   print_r($_GET);
?>
</PRE>
<?php
}

// Switch on search/add wizard step
switch( $_GET['step']){
// #################
// Search/Add form
// #################
   case "1":
      $type = explode(":",$_POST['type']);
      if ($_POST['Submit']=="Add"){
         require($_POST['Submit'].$type[0].'.php');
      } else {
         if ( $_POST['type'] == "Movie:Movie" &&
              $_POST['MovieType'] == ""){
            header("Location:form4.php");
         }
?>
<h1>Search Results</h1>
<p>You are looking for a "<?php echo $type[1]?>" named "<?php echo $_POST['Name']?>"</p>
<?php
      }
      if ($_POST['Debug'] == "on"){
         debugDisplay();
      }
      break;
// #################
// Add Summary
// #################
   case "2":
      $type = explode(":",$_POST['type']);
?>
<h1>New <?php echo $type[1]?> : <?php echo $_POST['Name']?></h1>
<?php
      switch( $type[0] ){
         case "Movie":
?>
<p>Released in <?php echo $_POST['MovieYear']?></p>
<p><?php echo nl2br(stripslashes($_POST['Desc']))?></p>
<?php
            break;
         default:
?>
<h2>Quick Bio</h2>
<p><?php echo nl2br(stripslashes($_POST['Bio']))?></p>
<?php
            break;
      }
      break;
// ###############
// Starting form
// ###############
   default:
      require('startform.php');
      break;
}
?>

Thanks a lot. This book really teaches you more of debugging than of learning PHP.

Hello. I think you are missing this code (which should go just before the "switch" code):
if (!isset($_GET['step']))
{
    require('startform.php');
}
else
{

Hi,

I guess i'll try inserting the IF statement. Thanks a lot for the help.
