Undefined index and undefined offset?!

[jarv]

my current code:

 

$Townsearch = $_REQUEST['rsTown'];
list($Town, $County) = split('[,]', $Townsearch);
ltrim($County,1);

 

I am getting undefined index and undefined offset, so I tried this:

 

if $_REQUEST['rsTown'] == ''{
	$Townsearch = '';
} else {
$Townsearch = $_REQUEST['rsTown'];
}

but this brought back: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting '(' in D:\retroandvintage.co.uk\wwwroot\main.php on line 6

 

Can someone please help?

 

thanks

Basic control structures:  IF statements require parens:

if ( $something == $somethingElse ) {
  //behavior if true
} else {
  //behavior if false
}

Also, you should be using the isset() function to check to see of offsets are set.  And the split() function is deprecated and should not be used.  You want explode() for this.
