Undefined Property

Posted by emcniece on February 2, 2012 at 9:47pm

I'm testing for a specific form id inside hook_node_insert like so:

<?php
    function my_node_insert($node){
        if($node->form_id == 'whatever_node_form')
    
    ... ...
?>

But I'm getting an error saying Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$form_id in my_node_insert()

Where does it go wrong? Is there a different way I should test for a form id?

Make sure you test your variables for existence.

<?php
    function mymodule_node_insert($node){
        if(isset($node->form_id) && ($node->form_id == 'whatever_node_form')){
            // do stuff
        }
    }
?>
