I don't think it's a matter of giving the engine a try. I think we first need to make a decision what the best way to go is and then we can discuss implementation if/what is possible. Once 5.0.0 is out I'm going to have more time look into this.

What's the word on this? Some of the names given were: issetor ifsetor ifset ifnull coalesce I'm actually kind of partial to: $a = $foo || $bar; $a = $foo || $bar || $xyz || $etc; Or better yet (or maybe in addition too): $a['foo'] ||= 'bar'; // if set do nothing, otherwise assign 'bar' -james
