I have recently encountered dis error while doing <b>page validation</b> for my site.
I have been trying a lot ,but still could not find the solution.
Being a newbie to PHP, I would be obliged if u guys could help me out.
The URL of d site is,
http://www.dmcewriteups.co.cc/register.php

I do not understand,how all[except 1] errors vanish when I press reset button of the form
The HTML n PHP code is as follows :

<html>
<head>
<link href="style_register.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#474747">

<div id="form-container">
<center>
<h2>Registration form</h2>
</center>

<fieldset>
<form action = "register.php" method="POST">

<div class="error">
<?php

	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
	$divroll = $_POST['divroll'];
	$key = $_POST['key'];
	$errorstring = "";

function valid_email($str)
{
return ( ! preg_match("/^([a-z0-9\+_\-]+)(\.[a-z0-9\+_\-]+)*@([a-z0-9\-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$/ix", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}
	
	if(!$username)

Your trying to print variables that aren't initialized. Try changing this:

if($_POST['reset'])
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$name = $_POST['firstname'];
$surname = $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
$divroll = $_POST['divroll'];
$key = $_POST['key'];

$username = "";
$password = "";
$name = "";
$surname = "";
$email = "";
$mobile = "";
$divroll = "";
$key = "";
}

... to this ...

if($_POST['reset'])
{
  $username = $_POST['username'];
  $password = $_POST['password'];
  $name = $_POST['firstname'];
  $surname = $_POST['lastname'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
  $divroll = $_POST['divroll'];
  $key = $_POST['key'];
}
else
{
  $username = "";
  $password = "";
  $name = "";
  $surname = "";
  $email = "";
  $mobile = "";
  $divroll = "";
  $key = "";
}

I changed the code for reset
from

if($_POST['reset'])
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$name = $_POST['firstname'];
$surname = $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
$divroll = $_POST['divroll'];
$key = $_POST['key'];

$username = "";
$password = "";
$name = "";
$surname = "";
$email = "";
$mobile = "";
$divroll = "";
$key = "";
}

to

else
{
$username = "";
$password = "";
$name = "";
$surname = "";
$email = "";
$mobile = "";
$divroll = "";
$key = "";
}

and it worked abt error of uninitailise variables
But i am still not able to figure out error
"Notice: Undefined index: submit in /home/a3537046/public_html/register.php on line 21"

This problem has been solved by posted itself

You just need to put the

if($_POST['submit'])

as

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
