I am wanting to establish a default sort by preference when the user hasn’t specified one. I setup to test this with: <?php if ( !is_set( $sort_by_preference ) ) { $sort_by_preference = "government_wording"; } ?> But I am receiving a Notice error: Notice: Undefined variable: sort_by_preference in GIFI_codes.php on line 11- Line 11 is “if ( !is_set( $sort_by_preference ) ) {“What is the correct way to test this without triggering a Notice error?Ron Ron Piggott www.TheVerseOfTheDay.info
