I am using the following if statement ... if (isset($theme)) { print("Current theme is $theme"); require "content/header_$theme.php"; } else { print("$theme"); require "content/header.php"; } now one would think that if it didn't return true that the else statement wouldn't print anything for $theme ... but it does. Also if I use !isset it returns true with a null value for $theme ... This doesn't make sense to me ... maybee I am doing something wrong, if I am someone please correct me heh. If i use this bit of code it acts as you and I expect.
So there may be something in the previous code that is acting up here. Do you see any value in $theme when you do echo "[$theme]"; ? Spaces should show up this way. Are you working for a CMS? If so, which one? (i ask because i know the nukes family uses $theme)
