I keep getting an error message
"Notice: Undefined variable: pos in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/project1/rate.php on line 8".
I was getting this error on line 5 but i had included the asset function, i am stuck and do not know how to fix this error. I will post the code below, please help.
Thanks in advance
Rate.php page
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost","root","root", "rating") or die ("Couldnt connect to the database!");
if (isset($_POST['pos']))
$post_rating = $_POST['rating'];
$find_data = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM rates WHERE pos='$pos'");
while($row = $mysqli->fetch_assoc($find_data))
{
$id = $row['id'];
$current_rating = $row['rating'];
$current_hits = $row['hits'];
}
$new_hits = $current_hits + 1;
$update_hits = $mysqli->query("UPDATE rates SET hits = '$new_hits' WHERE id='$id'");
$pre_rating = $current_rating + $post_rating;
$new_rating = $pre_rating / $new_hits;
$update_rating = $mysqli->query("UPDATE rates SET rating = '$new_rating' WHERE id='$id'");
?>
