Question

Newb here trying to build a form that works with ints to count how many red shirts die in a classic episode of star trek (exercise to get better with forms and ints). I have an error which reads as '7 Error message: Undefined index: rsTot'. I have tried a few things and read that setting it(casting it?) as a float was the safest way to work with the int, however each thing i've attempted results in some sort of error so after a day of reading and trying i'm very confused and hoping for an answer I can understand here.

I have read through stackOverflow for an answer but not seen one which i can understand and apply that speaks to the problem i'm having of initially entering and process a number as an int which i can later do some math on.

    <?php //w03c0102_OOPform

    require '../inc_0700/config_inc.php'; #provides configuration, pathing, error handling, db credentials

    //END CONFIG AREA ----------------------------------------------------------

    $rsTot = (float)$_POST['rsTot'];// float more forgiving int
    $rsSurvived = (float)$_POST['rsSurvived'];


    $rsSum = $rsTot - $rsSurvived;
    $rsRatio = 0;


    # Read the value of 'action' whether it is passed via $_POST or $_GET with $_REQUEST
    if(isset($_REQUEST['act'])){$myAction = (trim($_REQUEST['act']));}else{$myAction = "";}

    switch ($myAction)
    {//check 'act' for type of process
        case "display": # 2)Display user's name!
            showName();
            break;
        default: # 1)Ask user to enter their name
            showForm();
    }

    function showForm()
    {# shows form so user can enter their name.  Initial scenario
        get_header(); #defaults to header_inc.php
    ?>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="<?=VIRTUAL_PATH;?>include/util.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            function checkForm(thisForm)
            {//check form data for valid info
                if(empty(thisForm.YourName,"Field Empty, please fill out")){return false;}
                return true;//if all is passed, submit!

Answer 1

Well as the error say, $_POST['rsTot'] that index does not exist and it is simple because on first load of page you do not have any POST values...

So basicaly you need to do something like this:

//your hidden field, in other words if form was submitted
if(isset($_POST['act']))
{
    $rsTot = (float)$_POST['rsTot'];// float more forgiving int
    $rsSurvived = (float)$_POST['rsSurvived'];


    $rsSum = $rsTot - $rsSurvived;
    $rsRatio = 0;

    and do all other stuff based on form input here....
