Voila!
function ifsetordefault( $array, $key, $default=null )
{
if( isset( $array[$key] ) )
{
return $array[$key];
}
return $default;
}
echo ifsetordefault( array( 1 => 'One', 2 => 'Two' ), 3, 'Three' );
Or if you prefer:
function ifsetpathordefault( $array, $path, $default=null, $sep='/' )
{
$pathBits = explode( $sep, $path );
$nest = $array;
foreach( $pathBits as $pathBit )
{
if( !isset( $nest[$pathBit] ) )
{
return $default;
}
$nest = $nest[$pathBit];
}
return $nest;
}
And yet, I'd still prefer an internal function to do this MUCH MUCH MUCH
faster and then I'd also never need to run across the problem of naming
collisions with other libraries that implement the same code :)
Cheers,
Rob.
