I am unable to find a solution to this problem I have depicted below. It shows that the variables $fName and other variable like $MNane are undefined as well as other variable like $fnameerr and so on, even though I have defined them later in my php script.
I am trying to a validated registration form. I have never come across this issue as previously this code has worked perfectly many times before. I do not have much knowledge about this language.
HTML code:
<!-- Header -->
<header class="masthead bg-primary text-white text-center">
<div class="container">
<img class="img-fluid mb-5 d-block mx-auto" src="img/profile.png"
alt="">
<h1 class="text-uppercase mb-0">SOCIETY-123</h1>
<hr class="star-light">
<h2 class="font-weight-light mb-0">Maintain your house on Rent - Sell
house - Manage the Society</h2>
</div>
</header>
<div>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER[PHP_SELF]); ?>">
<center><h1 class="text-uppercase mb-0">Registration</h1></center>
<hr class="star-dark mb-5">
<table class="registration1">

function test_input($data){
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
return $data;
}
?>

Though I have define the variables over here in the php script
