What do you do when isset does not work? If I send data in a $_REQUEST['var'] like if (isset($_REQUEST['var'])) { } Put var has no data it still says it is set. Because $_REQUEST['var'] = "" and isset thinks "" is set
I use this combination a lot: if ( isset($_GET['something']) && !empty($_GET['something']) ) {
    // do something here with $_GET['something']
}

The isset is a pointless waste of cycles. -Stut
