I am receiving the following error in PHP
Notice undefined offset 1: in C:wampwwwincludesimdbgrabber.php line 36
Here is the PHP code that causes it:
<?php
# ...
function get_match($regex, $content)
{
preg_match($regex,$content,$matches);
return $matches[1]; // ERROR HAPPENS HERE
}
What does the error mean?

If preg_match
did not find a match, $matches
is an empty array. So you should check if preg_match
found an match before accessing $matches[0]
, for example:
function get_match($regex,$content)
{
if (preg_match($regex,$content,$matches)) {
return $matches[0];
} else {
return null;
}
}

How to reproduce this error in PHP:
Create an empty array and ask for the value given a key like this:
php> $foobar = array();
php> echo gettype($foobar);
array
php> echo $foobar[0];
PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/phpsh/phpsh.php(578) :
eval()'d code on line 1
What happened?
You asked an array to give you the value given a key that it does not contain. It will give you the value NULL then put the above error in the errorlog.
It looked for your key in the array, and found undefined
.
How to make the error not happen?
Ask if the key exists first before you go asking for its value.
php> echo array_key_exists(0, $foobar) == false;
1
If the key exists, then get the value, if it doesn’t exist, no need to query for its value.

Undefined offset error in PHP is Like ‘ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException’ in Java.
example:
<?php
$arr=array('Hello','world');//(0=>Hello,1=>world)
echo $arr[2];
?>
error: Undefined offset 2
It means you’re referring to an array key that doesn’t exist. «Offset»
refers to the integer key of a numeric array, and «index» refers to the
string key of an associative array.

Undefined offset means there’s an empty array key for example:
$a = array('Felix','Jon','Java');
// This will result in an "Undefined offset" because the size of the array
// is three (3), thus, 0,1,2 without 3
echo $a[3];
You can solve the problem using a loop (while):
$i = 0;
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// Increase count by 1, thus, $i=1
$i++;
$groupname[$i] = base64_decode(base64_decode($row['groupname']));
// Set the first position of the array to null or empty
$groupname[0] = "";
}

The Offset that does not exist in an array then it is called as an undefined offset. Undefined offset error is similar to ArrayOutOfBoundException in Java. If we access an index that does not exist or an empty offset, it will lead to an undefined offset error.
Example: Following PHP code explains how we can access array elements. If the accessed index is not present then it gives an undefined offset error.
php
<?php
$students
=
array
(
0 =>
'Rohan'
,
1 =>
'Arjun'
,
2 =>
'Niharika'
);
echo
$students
[0];
echo
$students
[5];
echo
$students
[key];
?>
Output:
There are some methods to avoid undefined offset error that are discussed below:
- isset() function: This function checks whether the variable is set and is not equal to null. It also checks if array or array key has null value or not.
Example:
php
<?php
$students
=
array
(
0 =>
'Rohan'
,
1 =>
'Arjun'
,
2 =>
'Niharika'
);
if
(isset(
$students
[5])) {
echo
$students
[5];
}
else
{
echo
"Index not present"
;
}
?>
Output:
Index not present
- empty() function: This function checks whether the variable or index value in an array is empty or not.
php
<?php
$students
=
array
(
0 =>
'Rohan'
,
1 =>
'Arjun'
,
2 =>
'Niharika'
);
if
(!
empty
(
$students
[5])) {
echo
$students
[5];
}
else
{
echo
"Index not present"
;
}
?>
Output:
Index not present
Example:
php
<?php
function
Exists(
$index
,
$array
) {
if
(
array_key_exists
(
$index
,
$array
)) {
echo
"Key Found"
;
}
else
{
echo
"Key not Found"
;
}
}
$array
=
array
(
"ram"
=> 25,
"krishna"
=> 10,
"aakash"
=> 20
);
$index
=
"aakash"
;
print_r(Exists(
$index
,
$array
));
?>
Output:
Key Found

Notice: Undefined offset
This error means that within your code, there is an array and its keys. But you may be trying to use the key of an array which is not set.
The error can be avoided by using the isset() method. This method will check whether the declared array key has null value or not. If it does it returns false else it returns true for all cases.
This type of error occurs with arrays when we use the key of an array, which is not set.
In the following, given an example, we are displaying the value store in array key 1, but we did not set while declaring array “$colorarray.”
Error Example:
<?php
// Declare an array with key 2, 3, 4, 5
$colorarray = array(2=>'Red',3=>'Green',4=>'Blue',5=>'Yellow');
// Printing the value of array at offset 1.
echo $colorarray[1];
?>
Output:
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in index.php on line 5
Here are two ways to deal with such notices.
- Resolve such notices.
- Ignore such notices.
Fix Notice: Undefined offset by using isset() Function
Check the value of offset array with function isset(), empty(), and array_key_exists() to check if key exist or not.
Example:
<?php
$colorarray = array(2=>'Red',3=>'Green',4=>'Blue',5=>'Yellow');
// isset() function to check value at offset 1 of array
if(isset($colorarray[1])){echo $colorarray[1];}
// empty() function to check value at offset 1 of array
if(!empty($colorarray[1])){echo $colorarray[1];}
// array_key_exists() of check if key 1 is exist or not
echo array_key_exists(1, $colorarray);
?>
How to Ignore PHP Notice: Undefined offset?
You can ignore this notice by disabling reporting of notice with option error_reporting.
1. Disable Display Notice in php.ini file
Open php.ini file in your favourite editor and search for text “error_reporting” the default value is E_ALL. You can change it to E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE.
By default:
error_reporting = E_ALL
Change it to:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
Now your PHP compiler will show all errors except ‘Notice.’
2. Disable Display Notice in PHP Code
If you don’t have access to make changes in the php.ini file, In this case, you need to disable the notice by adding the following code on the top of your php page.
<?php error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); ?>
Now your PHP compiler will show all errors except ‘Notice.’
Before discovering how to avoid the PHP undefined offset error, let’s see what it is. The undefined offset is the one that doesn’t exist inside an array. An attempt to access such an index will lead to an error, which is known as undefined offset error.
Let’s see an example:
<?php
// Declare and initialize an array
// $students = ['Ann', 'Jennifer', 'Mary']
$students = [
0 => 'Ann',
1 => 'Jennifer',
2 => 'Mary',
];
// Leyla
echo $students[0];
// ERROR: Undefined offset: 5
echo $students[5];
// ERROR: Undefined index: key
echo $students[key];
?>
Below, we will show you several methods to avoid the undefined offset error.
This function allows checking if the variable is set and is not null.
The example of using the isset function to avoid undefined offset error is as follows:
<?php
// Declare and initialize an array
// $students = ['Ann', 'Jennifer', 'Mary']
$students = [
0 => 'Ann',
1 => 'Jennifer',
2 => 'Mary',
];
if (isset($students[5])) {
echo $students[5];
} else {
echo "Index not present";
}
?>
Index not present
The empty() function is used for checking if the variable or the index value inside an array is empty.
Here is an example:
<?php
// Declare and initialize an array
// $students = ['Rohan', 'Arjun', 'Niharika']
$students = [
0 => 'Ann',
1 => 'Jennifer',
2 => 'Mary',
];
if (!empty($students[5])) {
echo $students[5];
} else {
echo "Index not present";
}
?>
Index not present
This function is used for associative arrays that store data in the key-value pair form, and there is a value for each key.
The array_key_exists function is used for testing if a particular key exists in an array or not.
Here is an example:
<?php
// PHP program to illustrate the use
// of array_key_exists() function
function Exists($index, $array)
{
if (array_key_exists($index, $array)) {
echo "Key Found";
} else {
echo "Key not Found";
}
}
$array = [
"john" => 25,
"david" => 10,
"jack" => 20,
];
$index = "jack";
print_r(Exists($index, $array));
?>
Key Found
