PHP Notice [error]

[unknowngiver]

Hey
when i turn the Error reporting on i get this error :

Notice: Undefined index: action in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\FM\include\template\right.inc.php on line 17

and heres that line:

$action = htmlspecialchars($_GET['action']);

why does it say "Undefined index" ?

Seems like $_GET['action'] isn't defined. You can really turn off notice errors until you are having problems with your script. They normally just say things that don't really matter at all.

If you have a larger problem as you described unknowngiver, post some more code

opsi:p nvm fixed it..thanks [i didnt make the "id" auto_incremement..so it was finding a duplicate there..lol]
Thankss tho...and does this "Notice" matter at all?

It doesn't really matter at all and would make no difference if you turned notices off.

This would get rid of the notice:
if (isset($_GET['action'])) $action = htmlspecialchars($_GET['action']);
