the file to which data goes is:

<?php
session_start();


$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
 
	mysql_select_db("pras2");

$date= $_POST['date'];

  $shift_num=$_POST['num'];
  
  $name=$_POST['P_list'];
  
  $amount_rec=$_POST['amount_rec'];
  $amount_sort=$_POST['amount_sort'];
  $amount_rej =$_POST['amount_rej'];
  $reason=$_POST['reason'];
  
  
  $query= "SELECT * FROM  `shift` WHERE date='$date' AND shift_no='$num')";
  $result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
  if ($result)
  {
  $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
  
  $shift_id = $row(shift_id);
   echo $shift_id;

}

else 
{
echo "failed";
}

$query1="INSERT INTO intemediate_store (shift_id, product, quantity_sorted,quantity_rejected,quantity_received, reason_of_rejection) VALUES ('$shift_id', '$name', '$amount_sort', '$amount_rej', '$amount_rec', '$reason')";

$result1= mysql_query($query1);
if ($result1)
{
echo "data added succssfully";
}
else
{
echo "updation failed";
}
  


?>

the error which it gives is of undefined index of all variables

on line 7 you have

mysql_select_db("pras2");

you need to include the connection in it

mysql_select_db("pras2", $con);

yeah now its working but i couldont find error on line 21 now

Hai Sidra 100,

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE) ?>

it also has same problem of undefined index of all variables

Hai Sidra 100!
I have found some errors,
Am telling these for all for first page you have posted,
In first file you have not used any form !!First use form .
Then check weather that files are in same folder or not means change the path on the form .
There is no '$num' variable in the second page . Check it out

Thats it , it will fix.. If not tell me
$query= "SELECT * FROM `shift` WHERE date='$date' AND shift_no='$num')"; --$num not specified

The Second post
In machine_schedule.php check that code <?php error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); ?>
You havn't inserted ';' for them . Sorry that's my mistake
Use any one $_REQUEST[], or $_POST[].
I recommend you to use $_POST["something"]; instead of $_POST; "SEE QUOTATIONS"


Try it..

in the first page form is there on line 107 it is declared. from where i have to get the values. and it do access the second page. but out on second page shows that undefined index of all variables. means it do proceed to next page but it values are not transfered. rest of my mistakes as you have told me. i have corrected them.
