Hi all, Please tell me which is the shortest method for writing the following code: $var = $_GET['var'] || 'value'; I want the program to put the value "value" in the variable $var if the array element 'var' is not defined or in case it is 0 and I would like to avoid using that long style with if (..) {...} else {...}... Thank you. Teddy Like the others said, use the ? : method:
$var = (isset($_GET['var']) && $_GET['var']) ? $_GET['var'] : 'value'; -- Daniel Schierbeck Help spread Firefox (www.getfirefox.com): http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=user/register&r=6584
