    \---- This is fine, you're assigning TO this   \---- It's this bit
that's undefined

as you said:

> which is a field from a SQL result which currently doesn't exist...

so, in a way, you answered your own question.

Hi, thank you both for the explanation. It's clear why I get the
"undefined", 
these variables *are* for various reasons undefined at the moment. However, 
there are NO arrays involved, f.i. "KundeRemark" is NOT an array it's a
simple 
string variable created by

$KundeRemark       = stripslashes($val["KundeRemark"]);

which is a field from a SQL result which currently doesn't exist because I 
changed the connection to a different db where this field is named 
differently. So, it's undefined, fine. But why is it called "undefined
index" 
where it should be "undefined variable" ?
