What's the word on this? Some of the names given were: issetor ifsetor ifset ifnull coalesce I'm actually kind of partial to: $a = $foo || $bar; $a = $foo || $bar || $xyz || $etc; Or better yet (or maybe in addition too): $a['foo'] ||= 'bar'; // if set do nothing, otherwise assign 'bar' -james -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
