Well, first of all, if this is the top of the code, then you really 
don't need the if statement - all non-superglobals (i.e. not $_GET, 
$_SESSION, etc.) will be undefined.  The only exception would be if 
you're running with register_globals enabled in your PHP configuration, 
which it should NOT be.

However, you didn't show us the code that's causing your problem, so 
there's not much more we can do to help you.

Try posting the entire code that's failing with the applicable messages 
and we can take a closer look at it.

P.S. Congratulations on trying to write good code.  Too many programmers 
are sloppy in their writing, creating potential problems later.
