Maybe so, but if a variable ever happens to contain null and you're not aware of it, the value won't get updated. > However, what is wrong with is_null()? As a function call it's an order of magnitude slower than === null since it incurs the overhead for a function call. There's nothing wrong with your use of the is_null() function, but === null is just as clear, and much faster so I thought I'd throw at you in line with your coffee comment :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
