an error notice means your code is not working, You want that to show so you can fix them.

Most errors are pretty self explainatory!

The undefined constants are probably unquoted array indices. You should use $_POST['lang'], not $_POST[lang]. You can get away with it most of the time, as PHP will assume that an undefined constant has a value of a string the same as its name. But for proper code that will not throw warnings, quote your array indices (unless they're variables or previously defined constants).

The undefined index warning is due to referencing an array element which has not been set (such as a $_POST element on a page that wasn't called by a form). If your page can possibly be called in such a way, then you should check to see if such a value isset() before referencing it:

if(isset($_POST['lang']))
{
$lang = $_POST['lang'];
}
else
{
$lang = "";
}

PS: See error_reporting() (http://www.php.net/error_reporting) should you really want to change the reporting level.
