man, this is like the thread that will not die. isset() will return
true for an empty string, which is not what he wants. the right thing
to do is use
if((isset($var))&&($var!=""))
the isset on the left gets evaluated first so a warning is never
thrown. to be even safer, you can go:
if((isset($var))&&(trim($var)!=""))
you do not want to use strlen() for the following reasons:
1) makes code unreadable -> very sloppy
2) overhead
3) it will give a warning when $var is not set (error_reporting 15
only).
