Variable being reset after isset

[TheCase]

Hi,

This is part of my code

switch ($ladderd) {
 
 case 'eu2':
 $ladder = 'aeu2';
 break;
 
 case 'eu4':
 $ladder = 'aeu4';
 break;

 case 'eu6':
 $ladder = 'aeu6';
 break;

 case 'eu8':
 $ladder = 'aeu8';
 break;
 
 default:
 $ladder = 'aeu12';
 break;
 
} 

But when I do

if(isset($_POST['submit']))

echo "$ladder"; 

I get an error Notice: Undefined index: $ladder
but it echos out before the isset but not after any ideas?

btw $ladderd is defined by a dropdown selection

Thanks

I haven't run your code yet, but on the first look, it seems you have typo:

switch ($ladderd) {

[TheCase]

No. $ladderd is defined by

$ladderd = $_POST['ladder'];

I made it with a d on the end. I can echo out $ladder before the isset and it produces the correct results but just not after the isset it comes out blank so there is no typo or anything as such anywhere.

Thanks

The error is elsewhere in your code.

That switch, however, can be replaced:

$ladder = in_array($ladderd, array('eu2', 'eu4', 'eu6', 'eu8'))
    ? 'a' . $ladderd
    : 'aeu12';

[TheCase]

Im still getting

Notice: Undefined variable: ladder
When echoed $ladder after the isset

It works before the isset though

[techietim]

Normally that wouldn't show. Your PHP configuration is set to display too much information.

Open up your php.ini file and set your error_reporting to:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT

[TheCase]

Ive enabled PHP error reporting because $ladder was echoing blank so I wanted to know what was going on.

Thanks

[techietim]

Are you giving us ALL the code? Maybe you should paste your entire script.

[Nile]

No. $ladderd is defined by

$ladderd = $_POST['ladder'];

I made it with a d on the end. I can echo out $ladder before the isset and it produces the correct results but just not after the isset it comes out blank so there is no typo or anything as such anywhere.

Thanks

He is defendantly not giving us all the code.
