Undefined variable: english_flag_choice

  • Thanks for the great plugin! I recently started having the following error messages appear at the bottom of every page:

    Notice: Undefined variable: english_flag_choice in …/plugins/google-language-translator/google-language-translator.php on line 372

    Notice: Undefined variable: english_flag_choice in …/plugins/google-language-translator/google-language-translator.php on line 375

    Notice: Undefined variable: lang_attribute in …/plugins/google-language-translator/google-language-translator.php on line 385

    Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • I will fix this and make another update – I’m sorry for that. It should not affect the front end display – but that is annoying I’m sure.

    Please stay tuned for the next update – or for faster help just contact me here:

    I can login to your site and remove them ASAP if needed – thanks!

    Wow, thank you for the incredibly generous offer. For now we’ve set WordPress to hide the errors, so we’ll be okay until the update gets done.

    Thanks again for the great plugin!

    Hi Rob,

    I’m also experiencing the same errors at https://dev.pixelutopia.co.uk, can you email me a quick fix please?

    Cheers, Andy.

    I ran into this issue as well. A quick way to remove those notices is to add an isset() check on each of those lines. So here’s what those 3 lines would look like:

    line 372:
    if ( $language_name == ‘English’ && isset( $english_flag_choice ) && $english_flag_choice == ‘canadian_flag’) {

    line 375:
    if ( $language_name == “English” && isset( $english_flag_choice ) && $english_flag_choice == ‘us_flag’) {

    line 385:
    if ( isset( $lang_attribute ) && $lang_attribute == ‘yes’) {

    Hey Rob,

    Great plugin. Like the others, we run WP_DEBUG as well and get the undefined variable notices. We don’t have errors displayed visibly so we only see them in logs. I echo jcexygy’s solution of adding the isset() checks. Before PHP 5.3 it didn’t throw these notices, but on 5.3+ it will. I believe they were added in an effort to make PHP a bit more strict. I had to clean things like this up in my plugins too a while back. One thing that can help is just to get in the habit of always initializing variables, and making sure they don’t make it into an if() statement if without having a default value.

    Good to know you’re on it. Looking forward to the update Rob. Thanks for an otherwise great plugin!

    Thanks, jcexygy! I’ve used your fix and it is working. I hate to directly edit plugins, so I hope that the next release of this plugin incorporates this fix!
