Re: isset($var) && !empty($var) same time!

But if this is true what you say, that empty() checks for not set null an empty string zero Why would i ever want to use isset() then? If i understood you correctly, would the following op = isset($_GET['op']) && !empty($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : ''; be the same as op = !empty($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : ''; ? *confused* "Analysis & Solutions" <danielc@analysisandsolutions.com> wrote in message news:20020802141158.GA27625@panix.com... > On Fri, Aug 02, 2002 at 04:48:17PM +0200, lallous wrote: > > > > function issne($var) > > { > > return isset($var) && !empty($var) ? true : false; > > } > > > > is there is any builtin function that does that?
