How would you want an uninitialised variable to behave, other than in the same way as a NULL value?If the extract() was being used to make the view code more readable in the first place, the exists() defeats rather than assists in that objective, in my opinion.My own interface with it has been via templating, where the layout is stored in a database and as elements are download any 'NULL' values either get replaced by a default, or ignored. It's not the best of coding practice, but it works ...
