Hello Sean,

  I should have clarified this -- The following is how I do it all the
  time.  It's just a bit longhanded for something that is done so
  often.

  $email = (isset($_GET['email']) ? $_GET['email'] : '');

  It get's even messier when you want to get something like this:

  $value = (integer) (isset($myBigArray['SomeKey1']['SomeOtherKey']) ?
  $myBigArray['SomeKey1']['SomeOtherKey'] : 0);
  
  where

  $value = ifsetor($myBigArray['SomeKey1']['SomeOtherKey'], 0);

  is a bit cleaner.

  Thanks.

Best regards,
 Jason                            mailto:jason@ionzoft.com
