It will work on any platform, but may give a WARNING depending on your error_reporting() level. But yes, it is a good idea to use isset(), regardless. Remember that textboxes will always be set, even if nothing was typed in. Only buttons and checkboxes can really come across "not set". ---John W. Holmes...
