Undefined Index Error While Inputting A New User

I'm creating a page where I will create an account for authorized users. But I always get into this Undefined Index error. There are only two variables, but I can't seem to find what is wrong? Could someone please check my code and see what is wrong? I've also linked some images. Sorry for my noobiness.
