Notice (8): Use of undefined constant inList - assumed 'inList' [CORE\Cake\Utility\ClassRegistry.php, line 168]
This notice has been bugging me for a while know, and I do not know how to fix it.. It was not really affecting my project earlier since its just a notice msg, but now, it is not letting me show an error message which I am trying to display to the user.
Iv got this function
public function validate_form(){
if($this->RequestHandler->isAjax()){
$this->request->data['Donor'][$this->params['form']['field']] = $this->params['form']['value'];
$this->Donor->set($this->data);
if($this->Donor->validates()){
$this->autoRender = FALSE;
}else{
$error = $this->Donor->validationErrors;
$this->set('error',$error[$this->params['form']['field']]);
}
}
}
The above is the action to which my post request submits to. Then it executes the following to display the error
if (error.length > 0) {
if ($('#name-notEmpty').length == 0) {
$('#DonorName').after('<div id="name-notEmpty" class="error-message">' + error + '</div>');
}
}else{
$('#name-notEmpty').remove();
}
The problem is that instead of the relevant error in my newly created div... I get that notice 8 from cake! Please if anyone knows why this is happening, I appreciate your aid on this one..
TLDR:
Do a project-wide find for 'inList' and find the spot where it either doesn't have quotes around it, or, if it's supposed to be a variable, is missing it's $.
Explanation:
You get that error when you try to use a PHP Constant that doesn't exist. Usually you're not actually TRYING to use a constant, but instead just forgot to wrap quotes around something or forgot to add the $ before a variable.
Examples:
$name = "Dave";
echo name; // <-- WOAH THERE, there is no Constant called name (missing $)
$people = array('Dave' => 'loves pizza');
echo $people[Dave]; // <-- WOAH THERE, no Constant called Dave (missing quotes)
Most likely somewhere else in your code you are using 'inList' as an array key but you don't have it quoted.
Example: $value = $myArray[inList];
It still works without quoting inList but it causes the notice message you're seeing.
