looks like $_REQUEST['uname'], $_REQUEST['email']and $_REQUEST['pass'] are not defined. So you need to find out why.

In addition to the SQL Injection vulnerability in your code, you're storing passwords in plain text. Don't do that!

Use PHP's built-in functions to help you store and verify the password securely:
PHP: password_hash[^]
PHP: password_verify[^]

This means that those index do not exist in variable $_REQUEST. We have no way to know the reason. Only you can see the real contain of $_REQUEST with the help of debugger.

PHP

$ins = "INSERT INTO tbl_user(uname,email,pass,gender,hobby,city,address) values ('$u','$e','$p','$g','$h','$c','$ad')";

Not a solution to your question, but another problem you have.
Never build an SQL query by concatenating strings. Sooner or later, you will do it with user inputs, and this opens door to a vulnerability named "SQL injection", it is dangerous for your database and error prone.
A single quote in a name and your program crash. If a user input a name like "Brian O'Conner" can crash your app, it is an SQL injection vulnerability, and the crash is the least of the problems, a malicious user input and it is promoted to SQL commands with all credentials.

You need to understand what this error means to solve for it. Here: Notice: Undefined Index error in PHP[^]

Quote:
This error means that within your code, there is a variable or constant that has no value assigned to it. But you may be trying to use the values obtained through the user form in your PHP code.

The error can be avoided by using the isset() function. This function will check whether the index variables are assigned a value or not, before using them.

Here, check for uname, email, pass for isset before using it. Seems your going ahead logic too depends on that so all needs to be adjusted.

UPDATE:
Some details around your code:
PHP $_REQUEST[^]

Quote:
PHP $_REQUEST is a PHP super global variable which is used to collect data after submitting an HTML form.

So, until unless there is no event to raise request, it will not be set. Thus, by default first time it would not hold value and throw an error. Using isset as shared will solve that.
