How to avoid Warning logs for an undeclared variables in PHP?
I have used many variables as,

$_SESSION[dbConnectInfo][u

and so on.
Errors are as follows,

even then, why 2-D for sessions !? this should be enough:
$_SESSION["dbConnectInfo_h
$_SESSION["dbConnectInfo_u
$_SESSION["sitePD"] = $ROOT_PATH;
$_SESSION["dbConnectInfo_h
$_SESSION["dbConnectInfo_u
$_SESSION["sitePD"] = $ROOT_PATH;

Hi, ldbkutty
I'm trying to make changes in the code. I will let you know after some time.
``````````````````````````
For example,
$_SESSION[webImgPath] = $_SESSION[siteURL]."/userd
In Most of the pages we are using, the variable,
$_SESSION[webImgPath].
So we can store it in a session, so that it will be used wherever required.
Also we are using only sessions in our program,
eg. Storing field values. That field value will be used in different forms.
Is there any alternate way for this?

If you just want to pass the form-fields to the next page, POST method is enough to retrieve in the next page.
POST carries the field values to the next page, SESSIONS carry all over the pages.
>> $_SESSION[webImgPath]
This is not the right format for SESSIONS. you should have it as: $_SESSION['webImgPath'] or $_SESSION["webImgPath"].
With $_SESSION[webImgPath], If your warnings are suppressed in your php.ini(which is not secure), you wont get any warnings in your output page. Otherwise it will show errors like you got.
So the right format is:
$_SESSION["webImgPath"] = $_SESSION["siteURL"]."/use
I hope you understand.

hello
The error is here: $_SESSION[dbConnectInfo][h
dbConnectInfo and host not variables because there is no $ symbol. They are not strings because there is no ' or " enclosed.
It should be "host" and "dbConnectInfo".
But, why do you want to store the host and username in SESSION? Are you trying to keep it in session and use it in the required pages. If so, SESSION is not really the best way. Just do the DB Connection in a PHP and include it in the required pages.
