consider the following statement:

$_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] : "*";
when using strings in arrays that may be non-existing or empty, you
have to repeat the reference *three* times, which gets excessive and
unreadable.
is there any way to only have to write
$_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] only once?
i know it's possible to supress "is not set" with @, but that just
seems wrong in case there really is an error in the statement.
i love php, but this is one of my pet peeves.
Olav:
Mine too.
But, Rasmus gave me this:
$action = isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : null;
Which could be translated to:
$language = isset
($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]) ?
($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]) : "*";
I think that might help.
Anyone see a problem with it?
Cheers,
