because the following line give the notice 'undefined index' BEFORE the submit button has been pressed..

That's because before the submit button has been pressed, $_POST is empty and so 'heading' is indeed an undefined index. Try:

$heading_insert = isset( $_POST['heading'] ) ? stripslashes( $_POST['heading'] ) : '';

By the way, while you're switching register_globals off, it might be a good idea to also switch off magic_quotes_gpc (the reason you need stripslashes() above) and short_open_tag (judging by your use of the non-portable <? open tag rather than <?php).
