Update for PHP 7  thanks shock gone wild   PHP 7 introduces the so called null coalescing operator which simplifies the below statements to    var    var     default     Before PHP 7  No  there is no special operator or special syntax for this  However  you could use the ternary operator    var   isset  var     var    default     Or like this   isset  var      var    default
