Re: Undefined index

I'm guessing this is for 1.2. Otherwise you wouldn't have gotten that error message. The problem is that you can't access e.g. $_POST['bday_year'] unless it actually exists. What you need to do is to check if it is set before you access it.

E.g:

if (isset($_POST['bday_year']) && isset($_POST['bday_month']) && isset($_POST['bday_day']))
    $birthday = $_POST['bday_year']."-".$_POST['bday_month']."-".$_POST['bday_day'];
else
    // do something else here

Re: Undefined index

It's the same problem. You can't access those variables unless they are set.

Re: Undefined index

It means at some point $time is 6 and there is no index 6 in $topic and $post. You'll have to do the same there. if (isset($topic[$time]) ...
