Notice: Undefined index variable. PHP script works on Linux but not Windows

Question

I have a PHP script that works on Linux but not on Windows. I can accept that my PHP coding isn't that great, I'm a newbie. I have a form, and I post the data to it. Now that it is on a Windows server, I get:

Notice: Undefined index: nmr in C:\Apache24\htdocs\index.php on line 31 ...

and so on.

I tried declaring all the variables as 0, and using isset, but it doesn't seem to work. Perhaps I'm using isset wrong. Can someone help me?

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writeable first.

Solution 

if(isset($_POST['nmr'], $_POST['UName'], ...) {
 $reg_wvar=$_POST['nmr'];
  $reg_UName=$_POST['UName'];
  ...
