Php Newbie, bit of help needed - undefined notices

[johnj]

To explain this error, you need to understand about arrays in php.

Let see an example: Suppose I want to store the quatity of fruits in a shop in an array. For this I will
create an array like this:

Code: Select all

$fruits = array();
$fruits['apple'] = 120;
$fruits['orange'] = 60;
$fruits['pear'] = 220;

To access the count of these fruits you will do:

Code: Select all

echo " Count of orange is ".$fruits['orange'];
echo " Count of apple is ".$fruits['apple'];
echo " Count of pear is ".$fruits['pear'];

Let us try to access the count of "lemon";

Code: Select all

echo " Count of Lemon is ".$fruits['lemon'];

But lemon is not there in our array and php will throw the "undefined" notice.
Similarly php will again throw undefined notice if you try to display $fruits['99'];

There isn't anything like "the best book". The ideal one is the manual on php.net.

There are plenty of "good" books. One of them is here

Beginning PHP by Doyle is another good one

Another one is Programming PHP by Kevin Tatroe, Peter MacIntyre and Rasmus Lerdorf
