Using the API to import contacts. I had no problem on my test installation, but now on my VPS, I get the following repsonse in my shell terminal.

Undefined index:  contact_id in /civicrm/api/v3/Contact.php on line 587
 Undefined index:  contact_id in /civicrm/api/v3/Contact.php on line 587
 Undefined index:  contact_id in /civicrm/api/v3/Contact.php on line 587
I get it 3 times like that every time the script runs past my:
$results=civicrm_api("Contact","create" ,$contactParams);
It still seems to be adding the contacts to my db - but I just don't like error messages!!

Any ideas? Line 587 in contact.php is:
$customValue = $params['contact_id'] ? CRM_Core_DAO::getFieldValue( 'CRM_Contact_DAO_Contact',
                                                                            $params['contact_id'],
                                                                            "{$key}{$greeting}_custom" ) : false;

NB - If you want to try patching it & submit a patch too you'd be looking at replacing

$customValue = $params['contact_id'] 

with something like


$customValue = CRM_Utils_Array::value('contact_id',$params) ? CRM_Core_DAO::getFieldValue( 'CRM_Contact_DAO_Contact',
                                                                            $params['contact_id'],
                                                                            "{$key}{$greeting}_custom" ) : false;


 CRM_Utils_Array::value  is a Civi function that checks a value is set & then returns it. It's the initial check which avoids the E-Notice
