Okay so I have a simple script that is supposed to route traffic on my site however, I am have a hard time figuring out how to fix the "Undefined Index Error" that appears at the top of the page when ever I use the URL "localhost/sitename/"

if(isset($_GET['p'])){ $notify = $_GET['p']; }
if ($page == "home"){
    include(__DIR__.'/_includes/pages/home.php');
} elseif($page == "maintenance") {
    include(__DIR__.'/_includes/pages/maintenance.php');
} else {
    include(__DIR__.'/_includes/pages/home.php');
}

?>

What am I doing wrong in regards towards this? Now the question was flagged, but I simply trying to redirect users to the home page even if they just type localhost/site name. And I still get the following error: Notice: Undefined index: p in C:\xampp\htdocs\BayingHound\index.php on line 3

While it may seem so, it's not necessarily helping to explain my issue. – Flakenstine Feb 13 '15 at 04:07
I know this may seem like a Duplicate question but I am trying to fix this. – Flakenstine Feb 13 '15 at 04:23
"Undefined index *what of what*" exactly? On which line? With what code? – deceze Feb 13 '15 at 04:27
@deceze Notice: Undefined index: p in C:\xampp\htdocs\BayingHound\index.php on line 3 – Flakenstine Feb 13 '15 at 04:29
So the first line of your code above is triggering this? That should be impossible with the given code. The only explanation would be that `'p'` is not `'p'` because of some hidden characters or something. – deceze Feb 13 '15 at 04:30
@deceze It only happens when I use the url localhost/sitename/ – Flakenstine Feb 13 '15 at 04:31
Are you sure the same file is being run in that case? – deceze Feb 13 '15 at 04:32
It should be trying to run index.php – Flakenstine Feb 13 '15 at 04:34
Confirm that. Put a big `echo 'HEEEELLOOOO';` at the top of the file you expect to be running. Is the file you're showing above surely C:\xampp\htdocs\BayingHound\index.php? – deceze Feb 13 '15 at 04:35
Okay, so the file home.php is working fine, but my issue is that when I try the URL localhost/sitename/ it redirects to the page I want but still displays the error – Flakenstine Feb 13 '15 at 04:38
So what exactly is on C:\xampp\htdocs\BayingHound\index.php on line 3? Can you confirm that it is the `$_GET` related line above? – deceze Feb 13 '15 at 05:13
@deceze The following is on line 3: $page = $_GET['p']; – Flakenstine Feb 13 '15 at 05:15
So, different file/code from the one above? And no `isset`? Have you read and *understood* all the duplicates? – deceze Feb 13 '15 at 05:17
Nevermind the issue has been resolved for now. – Flakenstine Feb 13 '15 at 05:17
