The PHP notice means the template is trying to use a variable that the action never provided. In Symfony 1.x an action property set as $this->foo becomes $foo inside the template. If the action keeps the value in a local variable or uses a different name, the view will see nothing. As pointed out, a singular/plural name mismatch is a common cause.

Fixes to apply in the action (before the template renders):

  • Make sure the action sets the variable the template expects (for example, assign a record or an empty array to the same name the template uses). A typical pattern is to fetch the row for the current user and assign it to the action property so it is available in the template.
  • After handling POSTs, either redirect (PRG pattern) or re-fetch and assign the saved data before rendering. That prevents rendering the template with missing data after an insert.

Template hygiene and robustness:

  • Always quote array keys (for example, ['relationshipstatus']) and keep key naming consistent (case and spelling). Unquoted identifiers are interpreted as constants and trigger notices.
  • Guard accesses with isset() or !empty() checks before echoing values so missing keys do not produce notices.
  • Normalize data in the action (map DB columns to predictable keys) so the template logic stays simple and predictable.

Debug tips:

  • In the action, dump the variable you plan to pass (or log it) to confirm it’s populated and has the expected structure.
  • Enable Symfony dev mode for full tracebacks.
  • Fixing the source of the undefined variable is better than hiding the notice; it prevents subtle runtime bugs and keeps templates stable.

This addresses the undefined-variable symptom and the name/case mismatches hinted at by in the thread.

Where are you getting the $profile_records array information from for the code at the top of the page? I only see it in your code from line 19. Also the code from line 19 has the variable $profile_record and not $profile_records.
