You are using an undeclared variable IF you load the page with out the get string at the end of the URL
The tutorial is not 100% correct , but you can just turn off these warning in the php settings under Error_reporting.
Really you should change the code to use the php functions empty() and isset() to check the variable is on the end of the URL before you tell php to set something that may not be there to set.
