then i always recieve an error written below
Notice: Undefined index: name in d:\ra\updates\check.php on line 3

Get ride of warnings and notice. If is your server, edit the php.ini and change the line of error level:

error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR

if is a shared server, change at runtime, add this line at very beginning of your script:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

Hi,
you can ask if the variable was set, before you try to assign it

if(isset($_POST["name"])) $name=$_POST["name"];
