Re: Notice (8): Undefined index: firstname [APP\controllers\users_controller.php, line 45]

hey cricket, thx. it makes sense. but if i code

if (!empty($this->data))
{

if ($this->User->save($this->data))
{
$this->Session->setFlash('Profil aktualisiert');
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'users', 'action' =>
'profile'));
}
else{
$this->Session->setFlash('Speichern fehlgeschlagen');
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'users', 'action' =>
'editprofile'));
}
}

cake inserts a complete new data in my table and does not update the
on that is edited. the error occurs not though :)

but in case
