can i ignore an error?

i have a script that calls for a field, but if you arent on a blackberry it asks you to select a name first, so it gives error until you select:

 

Notice: Undefined variable: posteid in E:\Website\citycore\2\mobile\schedule.php on line 20

 

i could make it so it didnt call for $posteid until after the name is selected, but then it wont work from the blackberry as it detects the pin number first.

You should be using isset() to test if an optional variable exists before you access the value in that variable.

cool.  never used that before.

You got the best practice answer -- however, I feel it still needs to be said that a "notice" isn't an error, and you can very easily turn down the error_level to not include notices.  If this is a production application, then you should not be displaying errors anyways, as that is a great way to leak internal information that could be useful to someone wanting to exploit your site.
