How is it moot?

A form posts the value for D1 to a script, script looks for the value of
D1 and gets it. PHP raises a notice that D1 is undefined.

I don't understand how I am getting the value that is posted to the
script if the index is undefined.

Is it really that difficult for someone to explain this?
