Yes I'm aware of all the bases regarding the notices and I am aware of the constant function. What I was asking what is the best way to resolve my situation? I want to do proper coding to the best of my ability. So even with your remark about forms with hidden fields, I agree but can this not be resolved? Maybe doing a define(variable, 0). I'm just looking for direction and the best solution. I assume that these notices are nothing major but should not be occurring if I would have done things correctly. Is this correct? Or should I be taking the notices as just a notice to let me know and that my code is fine?
