If you find yourself writing lots of code to simply check if variables exist (often from form submissions), to avoid warnings if error reporting is set to E_ALL then this might be helpful to you: <? error_reporting(E_ALL); // this will trigger error... if ($doesntexist != '') echo("foobar"); // this will not trigger error, but is lots of code to read/write! if (isset($doesntexist) && $doesntexist != '') echo("foobar"); // this will not trigger error, and is much cleaner code! if (@$doesntexist != '') echo("foobar"); ?> -- Jamie Burns. www.intuitioneshop.com ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43412 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43412&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43412&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
