Undefined array key in php _post

Hi everyone here,
I'm trying to show information about the material according to the year of meeting(is a meeting when they decide to buy a new material)
so I use a drop-down list and the information will show according to the year chosen by the user, but it shows the error as is mentioned in the title.
this the code.
Thanks in advance.
