My html code looks like below.

<select name="datasetownercluster">
<option disabled selected value> -- select an option -- </option>
<option>a</option>
<option>b</option>
<option>c</option>                                                                                      


</select>

and my php code looks like below

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{

$datasetownercluster = $_POST['datasetownercluster'];

}?>

But it gives me an error like "Notice: Undefined index: datasetownercluster in C:\xampp\htdocs\Access\insert\insert.php on this line"

`$datasetownercluster = $_POST['datasetownercluster'] ?? null;` – CD001 Mar 12 '18 at 15:29
error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in C:\xampp\htdocs\Access\insert\insert.php " – vcodeword Mar 12 '18 at 15:31
Then you're using an older version of PHP; I can almost guarantee that the answer will be in the duplicate this has been flagged as though. – CD001 Mar 12 '18 at 15:35
I'm using "Current PHP version: 5.6.30" – vcodeword Mar 12 '18 at 15:40
As I said, an older version, the *current* version is 7.2 – CD001 Mar 12 '18 at 15:44
I changed to latest version so right now there is no error but while connecting to MYSQL database it creates problem as newer version is only compatible with MariaDB – vcodeword Mar 12 '18 at 23:42
