Well my code has nothing to do with filtering. It's all about retrieving a default value if one is not set in response to the poster to which I replied. But yes, I was hasty with it in my eternal lack of wisdom, and of course forgot about scalars. For the record, I am indeed in favour of something that allows the choice of a value from a series of values for which some may not be set-- without the generation of not set warnings :) On that note, how comes there's a $GLOBAL array and not a $LOCAL array for vars declared in the immediate scope :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
