$_POST has value, after submitting form, so before that anybody can’t use $_POST ..
<?php
if(isset($_POST['title'])){
//Here in condition if(array_key_exists ( 'title' , $_POST )) can also be checked...
//OR if(!empty($_POST)) OR if(!empty($_POST['title'])) can also be put..
$title = strip_tags($_POST['title']);
}
?>
solved Error when writing code php [duplicate]
