Perhaps you could try this...

[PHP]
if (isset($var)) {

Do what you don't want to do here...

} else {
Do what you want here
}[/PHP]

The isset() function returns a boolean. So it is either true or false.

When you test using if (isset(xxx)) your action is performed on the true result of the isset.
When you test using if (!isset(xxx)) your action follows the true result of the NOT isset.

Hope this is clear. So the answer is: test with !isset(xx)

Dear group, My question may be novice. I have seen codes where the isset() is used to test weather a user's session ($_SESSION) is set before entering a page. A kind of direct access to a page is not possible. But I tested with the "input type="button" and the clicking of the event is not happened. Can any one tell me why. The code: <html> <body>

Is there a way to tell whether accessing a variable will result in an "Undefined variable" E_NOTICE? isset() almost does this, but it also returns false if a variable is set to null: $SetNonNull = 0; $SetNull = null; var_dump(isset($SetNonNull)); // bool(true) $Junk = $SetNonNull; // No error, as predicted by isset(). var_dump(isset($NotSet)); // bool(false)

Im taking Im doing something stupid here? I thought it was clever... just learned a little more about isset. $a = (isset($_GET)) ? $_GET : (isset($_POST)) ? $_POST : ""; I guess you can see what try each successive one in turn as we can alternate between the two. But it doesn't seem to be working.

The following code processes a blank field as though it has some value and proceeds as though it was set to some value. Apparently isset() is not working, because it thinks that a blank text field is set to something. Please let me know how to use isset() correctly. Thanks ahead.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
