note 115547 added to function.isset

It would be nice to have a built-in function that implements the following idiom, similar to the SQL function COALESCE() or NVL() $data = isset($complex->expression) ? $complex->expression : $default; You can write your own, as follows ... function nvl(&$var, $default) { return isset($var) ? $var : $default; } which works in many cases. ---- Server IP: 216.194.115.244 Probable Submitter: 173.226.190.154 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115547 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115547/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115547/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115547/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115547/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115547/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115547/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115547 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115547 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
