Undefined indexes are PHP Notices or Warnings. Check that the array key exists with a

array_key_exists(‘month’, $array);

Before trying to pull the array index. I haven’t seen your code so I can’t really give to much advice on it, but I normally use a method to check if the array key exists and is not empty before accessing it, something like

function key_exists ( $key, $array )
{
return (bool) ( array_key_exists ( $key, $array ) && !empty ( trim ( $array[$key] ) );
}

That should work without throwing any notices.

Hi – nice, thanx
getting some errors though:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: month
Filename: views/admin_welcome_view.php
Line Number: 6

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: year

Line Number: 6

PHP is not a happy place for me – anyone shed any light? or have any guidance pls.

This is a great article. but i’m having trouble getting it work. Is there a demo file with all the PHP and scripts running that I could possible try working from?

Also with this script and php, can it be modified to run multiple graphs from multiple profiles? (from the same google account tho), if so that would be awesome!

Many Thanks

Hi david thanks for the tutorial and i’m a bit frustrated about the results on my end… though i already posted all those codes inside my page, but i still get stuck in the end resulting my page to none.

do you have any samples aside for the given demo you had here… thanks and appreciate your effort to this.

I made a Google App Engine Project with Java taking a similar approach, but anybody can use it with their own data.

Take a look

@Vladica, the class is using Exceptions to handle errors, so put the initialization in try, catch block and print out the error.

try
{
$analytics = new analytics(‘youraccount@gmail.com’, ‘password’);
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
print_r($e->getMessage());
}

You will see the error you are getting… also it’s good idea to look through the code of the class, wherever a possible exception is thrown you need to catch it in case it occurs.
