You can't shorten > it, you can't even wrap it in a function... it's simply tough luck Please correct me if I'm wrong (and maybe this is what you mean by "(really)") but I think even Rasmus recommends: <?php if(!empty($_POST['cmd'])) { // stuff } ?> I'm using the following code to test this: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); if(!empty($_POST['cmd'])) { echo "set and not empty<br />"; } else { echo "empty and/or not set<br />"; } ?> Chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
