A PHP Error was encountered

[colleyboy]

I am getting this error on my sales cart page.  I am editting a PHP Point of sale program.

 

Cant work out why this is not working.  It should display the amount of points the item is worth. 

 

Help please

 

Heres the error im getting:

 

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

 

Message: Undefined index: points

 

Filename: sales/register.php

 

Line Number: 69

 

 

Heres the code:

 

<div class='warning_message' style='padding:7px;'><?php echo $this->lang->line('sales_no_items_in_cart'); ?></div>
</tr></tr>
<?php
}
else
{
foreach($cart as $item_id=>$item)
{
	echo form_open("sales/edit_item/$item_id");
?>
	<tr>
	<td><?php echo anchor("sales/delete_item/$item_id",'['.$this->lang->line('common_delete').']');?></td>
	<td><?php echo $item['name']; ?></td>
!!!THIS IS LINE 69 !!!	<td><?php echo $item['points']; ?></td>
	<?php if ($items_module_allowed)
	{
	?>
		<td><?php echo form_input(array('name'=>'price','value'=>$item['price'],'size'=>'6'));?></td>
	<?php
	}
	else
	{
	?>
		<td><?php echo $item['price']; ?></td>
		<?php echo form_hidden('price',$item['price']); ?>
	<?php
	}
	?>
	<td><?php echo form_input(array('name'=>'quantity','value'=>$item['quantity'],'size'=>'2'));?></td>
	<td><?php echo form_input(array('name'=>'discount','value'=>$item['discount'],'size'=>'3'));?></td>
	<td><?php echo to_currency($item['price']*$item['quantity']-$item['price']*$item['quantity']*$item['discount']/100); ?></td>

	<td><?php echo form_submit("edit_item", $this->lang->line('sales_edit_item'));?></td>
	</tr>
	</form>

 

Any ideas?

The error is telling you that points is not a valid member of your array... you would need to look at where $item['points'] is being set to determine why it is not.

If you find that it's not a bug at all and you just want to get rid of that message, you can do this:

 

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

 

Make sure you are 100% sure it's not a bug first though, by doing what MatthewJ said.  Otherwise you'll just be hiding the problem instead of fixing it.  That message is a "notice" rather than an "error", meaning php is telling you about it, but the script can still continue to run anyway.

Excellent...

 

Found out I had not defined it so the php thought - wtf is he on about lol...

 

Thanks & fixed
