It's clear why I get the "undefined", these variables *are* for various reasons undefined at the moment. However, there are NO arrays involved, f.i. "KundeRemark" is NOT an array it's a simple string variable created by $KundeRemark = stripslashes($val["KundeRemark"]); which is a field from a SQL result which currently doesn't exist because I changed the connection to a different db where this field is named differently. So, it's undefined, fine. But why is it called "undefined index" where it should be "undefined variable" ? > Warning: Undefined index: KundeRemark in > > C:\Server\www\conadmin\admin-beta\lib\kunden_functions.inc on line > > 138 > Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com IE-Center: http://ie5.de & http://msie.winware.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
