I think its maximum number of duplicate question in SO is "Undefined Index". — Niklesh Raut, Nov 04 '17 at 08:49

Possible duplicate of PHP: "Notice: Undefined variable", "Notice: Undefined index", and "Notice: Undefined offset"

But in your case you can solve your error something like below Or just off notice like error_reporting( error_reporting() & ~E_NOTICE ).

 <?php if(isset($_SESSION['login']) && !empty($_SESSION['login'])){   ?>

if(strlen($_SESSION['login']))

needs to be replaced with

if(isset($_SESSION['login']))
