Recently I updated from Xampp 1.7.3 to 1.7.4, when I go into a login page on my site (written in PHP) i get an error message "Notice: Undefined index: submitbutt in C:\xampp\htdocs\bazaar\login.php on line 22" this message is in the Begin Body Content area of the code when it displays on the page.

If I enter a user name that is in my database, it allows me to log in, but i then get 2 error message appearing at the top of the Begin Header, messages read:
1"Notice: Use of undefined constant myusername - assumed 'myusername' in C:\xampp\htdocs\bazaar\purchase.php on line 4"
And
2"Deprecated: Function session_is_registered() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\bazaar\purchase.php on line 4"

Until I updated Xampp, I had none of these code errors. Can someone help out please?

The codes for the login page is:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Login</title>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/date.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">

<?php
include ("header.php");
?>

<div>

<div id="bcell_1_1">.: Login :.</div>
<div id="bcell_1_2">Existing Member<br />
<?php
if($_POST['submitbutt']) {
echo "myusername: ". $_POST['UserName'] ."<br />";
echo "mypassword: ". $_POST['Password'] ."<br />";
}
else {
?>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php">
<p>User Name:<br>
<input name="UserName" type="text" id="UserName">
<p>Password:<br />
<input name="Password" type="password" id="Password">
<p>
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</div>

</div>
<div>

<?php
include ("footer.php");
?>

</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

And the code for the purchase page is as follows:

<?php // Check if session is not registered , redirect back to main page.
// Put this code in first line of web page.
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(myusername))
?>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Purchase</title>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/date.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">

<?php
include ("headerli.php");
?>

<div>

<div id="bcell_1_1">.: Purchase :.   Welcome, <?php echo $_SESSION["UserName"]?>, you are now logged in!</div>
<div id="bcell_1_2">To make a purchase simly click the "add to cart" button and then select the "purchase" button when you have completed your shopping</div>

</div>
<div>

<?php
include ("footer.php");
?>

</div>
</body>
</html>

Hi KeithAus,

Because your error_reporting level was set to a less strict value in your previous installation.

KeithAus wrote:Notice: Undefined index: submitbutt in C:\xampp\htdocs\bazaar\login.php on line 22

This message occurs because you want to use an array index, which doesn't exist in your context.
Your line 22 is this one:

Code: Select all: if($_POST['submitbutt']) {

You test if $_POST['submitbutt'] is true, but $_POST['submitbutt'] is not true or false, it's not set until you send your form.
So the better test will be this one:

Code: Select all: if(!empty($_POST['submitbutt'])) {

Deprecated: Function session_is_registered() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\bazaar\purchase.php on line 4

line 4 is that one:

Code: Select all: if(!session_is_registered(myusername))

1.: Everytime you want to use a word as string, you should wrap it into single or double quotes. Otherwise PHP tries to find this word as setted constant first.
2.:You used an old implementation of session handling. These session functions are marked as deprecated because they will be fully removed in one of the next major php releases (PHP 6). You should inform yourself how to handle with sessions in the current PHP versions.

Again you want to check if a value (in this case a Session value) is empty/setted or not
This should work for line 4:

Code: Select all: if(!empty($_SESSION['myusername']))
