Simply use if   web   This is true if the variable has any truthy value   You don t need isset or empty since you know the variable exists  since you have just set it in the previous line

isset will return true even if the variable is     isset returns false only if a variable is null  What you should be doing   if   empty  web            foo     This will check that he variable is not empty   Hope this helps

You re using isset  what isset does is check if the variable is set   exists   and is not NULL  What you re looking for is empty  which checks if a variable is empty or not  even if it s set  To check what is empty and what is not take a look at   http   php net manual en function empty php  Also check http   php net manual en function isset php for what isset does exactly  so you understand why it doesn t do what you expect it to do

I don t see how if  empty  var   can create confusion  but I do agree that if   var  is simpler      vanneto Mar 8  12 at 13 33           Because empty has the specific purpose of suppressing errors for nonexistent variables  You don t want to suppress errors unless you need to  The Definitive Guide To PHP s isset And empty explains the problem in detail      deceze  Mar 9  12 at 1 24      Focusing on the error suppression part  if the variable is an array where a key being accessed may or may not be defined    if  web  status    would produce      Notice  Undefined index  status  To access that key without triggering errors     if isset  web  status     amp  amp   web  status     2nd condition is not tested if the 1st one is FALSE  OR if  empty  web  status         However  as deceze  pointed out  a truthy value of a defined variable makes  empty redundant  but you still need to remember that PHP assumes the following examples as FALSE    null    or    0 0  0  0  or  0   0    0    3   So if zero is a meaningful status that you want to detect  you should actually use string and numeric comparisons    Error free and zero detection   if isset  web  status        if  web  status        0      web  status       0          web  status       0 0     web  status             not empty  use the value     else          consider it as empty  since status may be FALSE  null or an empty string         The generic condition   web  status    should be left at the end of the entire statement
