The constant use of isset()

While researching for this suggestion I found this rfc proposal regarding ifsetor() ( http://wiki.php.net/rfc/ifsetor?s[]=isset<http://wiki.php.net/rfc/ifsetor?s%5B%5D=isset>) and it's rejection point was that it was currently not possible ( http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=108931281901389&w=2 ) But would it be possible to check for a value of a variable if it is set? Since I often do (and see others do) if(isset($_GET["foo"]) && $_GET["foo"] == "bar") or even worse if((isset($_GET["foo"]) && $_GET["foo"] == "bar") || (isset($_GET["baz"]) && $_GET["baz"] == "bat")) to be able to do something like this if(isset($_GET["foo"]) == "bar") or if(isset($_GET["foo"]) == "bar" || isset($_GET["baz"]) == "bat") That isset (or some other language construct) would return the variable if it were set and false if it was not. Thanks for your time, i know this has probably been talked to death in one form or other. Ólafur Waage olafurw@gmail.com
