I think there may be a simple answe but I have been saring at this code for the last couple fo hours and canot see the error. I am going cross eyed.
I have writtena form that works apart from a bit where I have radio buttons for yes or no.
On the form I get the error:
Notice: Undefined variable... on line 134
for both the yes and no repsonses.
The rest fo teh code is fine and fthe form works except for this part.
Any help would be much appreicated
COde:
Code: Select all
