Here are some handy wrappers to isset that I use when I need to do common evaluations like: this variable is set and has a length greater than 0, or: I want the variables value, or a blank, if not set. /** * isset_echo() * * Accomplishes the following w/o warnings: * echo $x; * echo $x[$y]; * echo $x[$y][$z]; * * FIXME: make this recursive so it works for N args? */ function isset_echo($x, $y=Null, $z=Null) { if (is_array($x)) { if (array_key_exists($y, $x)) { if (is_array($x[$y])) { if (array_key_exists($z, $x[$y])) { echo $x[$y][$z]; } } else { echo $x[$y]; } } } else { echo $x; } } /** * isset_value() * * As above, but returns value instead of echoing */ function isset_value(&$x, $y=Null) { if (is_array($x)) { if (array_key_exists($y, $x)) { return $x[$y]; } } else { return $x; } } /** * isset_and_equals() * * As above, but ... * Returns true if variable (or array member) is set and equaL to the first parameter */ function isset_equals($val, $w, $x=null, $y=null, $z=null) { if (is_array($w)) { if (array_key_exists($x, $w)) { if (is_array($w[$x])) { if (array_key_exists($y, $w[$x])) { if (is_array($w[$x][$y])) { if(array_key_exists($z, $w[$x][$y])) { return ($w[$x][$y][$z] == $val) ? true : false; } } else { return ($w[$x][$y] == $val) ? true : false; } } } else { return ($w[$x] == $val) ? true : false; } } } else { return ($w == $val) ? true : false; } } /** * isset_gt0() * * As above, but returns true only if var is set and it's length is > 0 */ function isset_gt0(&$x) { if (isset($x) && strlen($x) > 0) { return true; } else { return false; } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50493 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50493&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50493&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50493&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50493&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50493&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50493&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
