Error PHP Notice Undefined offset 1

Question

I am getting this PHP error:

PHP Notice:  Undefined offset: 1

Here is the PHP code that throws it:

$file_handle = fopen($path."/Summary/data.txt","r"); //open text file
$data = array(); // create new array map

while (!feof($file_handle) ) {
    $line_of_text = fgets($file_handle); // read in each line
    $parts = array_map('trim', explode(':', $line_of_text, 2)); 
    // separates line_of_text by ':' trim strings for extra space
    $data[$parts[0]] = $parts[1]; 
    // map the resulting parts into array 
    //$results('NAME_BEFORE_:') = VALUE_AFTER_:
}

What does this error mean? What causes this error?

Hello @kartik,

Change

$data[$parts[0]] = $parts[1];

to

if ( ! isset($parts[1])) {
   $parts[1] = null;
}

$data[$parts[0]] = $parts[1];

or simply:

$data[$parts[0]] = isset($parts[1]) ? $parts[1] : null;

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
