Please use <?=isset($savedName)?$savedName:"";?> from <? echo $savedName; ?>. Please use isset function in all php var use.

the error was gone, but it didn't display the data whenever i click the button.

image upload in any server and send me link in comment.

to the 1st if statement or 2nd if statement?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'if' (T_IF) in C:\xampp\htdocs\oxychem\inventory\modules\addnewitems.php on line 372

not any changes only 'generate' to 'Generate' in if condition
