Re: feature request

personally all i want is isset(blah,blah,blah) im dealing with 18 items from a form here and im getting sick of typing them all ;) im not too worried about which one isnt set because i just display a not all fields filled in and use a javascript back button. simple? thats all i want but if you start adding this to one of these types of functions you will probably want to add it to empty() and so on ?
