There should be the problem  when you generate the  lt form gt   I bet the variables  name   price are NULL or empty string when you echo them into the value of the  lt input gt  field  Empty input fields are not sent by the browser  so   POST will not have their keys   Anyway  you can check that with isset     Test variables with the following   if isset   POST  key        variable   POST  key      variable NULL  You better set it to NULL  because      NULL value represents a variable with no value

This is happening because your PHP code is getting executed before the form gets posted    To avoid this wrap your PHP code in following if statement and it will handle the rest no need to set if statements for each variables         if isset   POST   amp  amp  array key exists  name of your submit input    POST                            process PHP Code                   else                          do nothing

Apparently the index  productid  is missing from your html form  Inspect your html inputs first  eg  lt input type  text  name  productid  value    gt  But this will handle the current error PHP is raising       rowID   isset   POST  rowID        POST  rowID            productid   isset   POST  productid        POST  productid            name   isset   POST  name        POST  name            price   isset   POST  price        POST  price            description   isset   POST  description        POST  description

To remove this error  in your html form you should do the following in enctype    lt form  enctype  multipart form-data  gt    The following down is the cause of that error i e if you start with form-data in enctype  so you should start with multipart    lt form enctype  form-data multipart  gt
