Hi mitra,
I am sorry, but your code was not received here, only last few lines partially. You can paste your code on pastebin.com (for example), then I might be able to help you.

Your line number #40 (whatever was on it, I cannot tell, as I did not see it) calls for element in array which does not exist. That’s the outline of the “error” (warning) in a nutshell. Check if you properly defined that element earlier in your code.

Is $ph variable initialized as an (array) in the first place? If it is, then this issue is not related to this, but from the fact that key ‘ph_id’ does not exist inside of it.

While you can solve this very easily with isset(), for example:

if (isset($ph['ph_id'])) {
sum_paidPHs($ph['ph_id']);
}

However, if $ph[‘ph_id’] being not set is abnormal case, you have to go earlier in the code and examine what’s causing it.

Hope this helps!
