Toby, If you write
$tireqty = $_POST['tireqty'] you're telling PHP that the calling script is sending a variable called 'tireqty'. Since on your case the name of the value and of the POST are the same, I mean that if you write $AFTER_POST = $_POST['VALUE_PASSED'] you will set a variable called $AFTER_POST to the value given by the calling form through the field named 'VALUE_PASSED' Otherwise, you trying to get the value of a POST that never was. Check the names of the fields on the form, and as someone said, use 'isset' to see if something actually went trough Sorry to be so thorough, but it's just to be as clear as I can Luis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "toby z" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Windows Helplist (PHP)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 1:58 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Help please: undefined index in sample code > Toby, $_POST should exist even if register globals are on!
