I would understand it if it was like this ..
<?php
$search = isset($_GET['search']) ? $_GET['search'] : '';
# versus
if (isset($_GET['search'])) { $search = $_GET['search']; }
?>In the first statement $search would either be set to $_GET['search'] or an empty string, whereas in the second statement $search would only be set, if there is a $_GET['search'] //A yeti -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
