Using if(isset()) with $_GET and switch and default

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I'm still new to PHP and everyday I learn something new.
Today I was trying to make some script using the switch statement but
I have some issue that I don't know how to get around it.
It's a simple test script that contain only one file, it has some
questions that I want only one question appear per time then go to the
next question when clicking on the submit button, I used switch for
that, but when I get the first page, I got a notice which says:
Notice: Undefined index: question in path\test.php on line 56
So I used if(isset($_GET[''])) but then the default value of the
switch does not show up in the first page and I get the first page
blank.

1- Is there anyway that I can use the default value of the switch
without getting the note?
    Or
2- Is there anyway that I can use the default value of the switch with
the if(isset()) and show the first page?

Here is the content of the script that I hope you can help me with:
(please note that it's not finished yet and it's so simple)
(The if(isset()) is commented)
