Answer 1

Check first if $_GET['action'] has been set or not

if(isset($_GET['action'])) {

    if($_GET['action'] == "list") {
        $current = "members";
        $list = "members";
    } else if($_GET["list"] == "authors") {
        $current = "authors";
    } else {
        $current = "members";
    }

}
