Hi im getting this error,


Notice: Undefined index: news_comments in /home/southame/public_html/files/includes/theme_functions_include.php on line 124

was trying to edit a few files on my site here is the code.

} else {
		opentable($locale['global_077']);
		echo "<div style='text-align:center'><br />\n".$locale['global_078']."<br /><br />\n</div>\n";
		closetable();
[B]	}[/B]
[B]} else {[/B]
	include INCLUDES."comments_include.php";

Line 124 and 125 is in bold.

So we have a better idea can you post the whole document and leave the lines 123 - 125 in bold. This will give us a better idea of what the document is actually doing.
