Good morning/afternoon,
Can someone please explain to me why i keep getting a;
Warning: Missing argument 4 for renderForm(), called in /home/***/public_html/new.php
Here is the HTML/PHP code i am using;
<?php
/*
NEW.PHP
Allows user to create a new entry in the database
*/
// creates the new record form
// since this form is used multiple times in this file, I have made it a function that is easily reusable
function renderForm($date, $home, $time, $away, $city, $error)
{
?>

}
}
else
// if the form hasn't been submitted, display the form
{
renderForm('','','');
}
?>I have tried to search here and google with no fix. Can anyone please help me please? This should be a form to add new events. But with these errors i am unable to make it work. Thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to provide.
The original part is done. Thank you for all the answers. But now i after i submit it gives me this error, not sure if it has anything to do with the edit i made to:
renderForm(null,null,null,null,null,null);Thank you once again.
