i am i getting notice: undefined pss

Question

here is my php. the session ps comes from a another php page. it comes successfully. but i am getting undefined when i try to use it on the following code to connect to my db.

    <?php
$pss = "";
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['ps'])){
    $pss = $_SESSION['ps'];
}

echo $pss;
$connect = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","erthiph_asksheikh851821217");

mysqli_query($connect,"INSERT INTO `as_questions`(`Qid`, `M_class`, `S_class`, `Question`, `Answer`, `Doctor`, `Time`) VALUES
('','','','".$pss."','','',CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)");
?>

the above code works. i replaced '$_POST[postquestion]' with '".@pss."' please check edit history to check edits.

i know its same as the duplicate flagged post but i read the post and could not get whats wrong — Mohamed Athif, Feb 01 '16 at 20:21

that must be a comment? don't you think? – Anant Kumar Singh Feb 01 '16 at 20:19
now it gives undefined index – Mohamed Athif Feb 01 '16 at 20:20
@A-2-A I can comment only my post. Im under 50 rep. sorry – Olbrych Feb 01 '16 at 20:26
i dont get why they rush to flag as duplicate. i came here because i didnt get it. no one is full of sql knowledge. they dont even bother reading the comments. – Mohamed Athif Feb 01 '16 at 20:37
anyway thanks for your reply A-2-A – Mohamed Athif Feb 01 '16 at 20:38
Ok. After change. it doesnt work ? – Olbrych Feb 01 '16 at 20:44
hmm. you should change only in INSERT - ... `void', '$_POST[$pss]', 'null'`... to ...`void', '".$pss."', 'null'`... – Olbrych Feb 01 '16 at 21:04
@Olbrych after change to $pss it gives undefined index: (and here goes the value passed onto session.) – Mohamed Athif Feb 01 '16 at 21:04
@Olbrych that solves the error yes. now im worried about the sql query not going through to database. – Mohamed Athif Feb 01 '16 at 21:09
@Erthiph Can you add to your post current code ? I'm confused now. You want insert `$pss` or some POST from `$_POST[$pss]` – Olbrych Feb 01 '16 at 21:09
@Olbrych thanks for your help :) i fixed the sql lines too and it works now – Mohamed Athif Feb 01 '16 at 21:21
@Olbryc check my edit. thanks. it works now. – Mohamed Athif Feb 01 '16 at 21:28
