if "gender" is left empty when submitting the form this will still trigger
a different warning (unknown index, or something like that).
if (array_key_exists('gender', $_POST))
$gender = $_POST['gender'];
else $gender = null;
Being paranoid you might even check if $_POST is available:
if (is_array($_POST))
