You didn't show any code, so it's impossible to tell you exactly.
However, it means you are trying to access an element of an array which
doesn't exist, i.e. you are trying to get the value of
$my_array['empname'], but never set it.

You can check to see if a value has been set with isset().

It means that $_REQUEST['empname'] is not set. This should have
probably come from a form posted to this page.

Before attempting to use the value, you should check to see if it is
set, with

if (isset($_REQUEST['empname'])) { ...

And also - you shouldn't be using $_REQUEST. Rather, use $_POST or
$_GET, depending on whether the form method is GET or POST. $_REQUEST
will check either, but will also check $_COOKIE - which will cause you
problems if you ever set a cookie for empname. No, I'm sure you aren't
planning to do so now - but what about six months from now? This just
leaves another door open for a bug.

And as Geoff said - study up on SQL injection. If you don't understand
it and watch for it, a hacker can do almost anything he wants to your
database - including wiping it out.

I believe you're looking for JavaScript help, in this case, not PHP.
Try comp.lang.javascript.
