Hi Colin and Daniel, Thanks for the feedback. I know that this functionality can be added to a framework or a stand alone function but I'm assuming that we would not get the same performance: Case 1 ----------- $c = isset($a) ? $a : ''; // total time = overhead of isset() + overhead of ?: Case 2 ----------- $c = myWrapper($a,$b) // total time = overhead of myWrapper() + overhead of isset() + overhead of ?: Case 3 ----------- $c = ifset($a,$b) // total time = overhead of ifset() Best regards __ Raymond Irving --- On Thu, 4/30/09, Daniel Brown <danbrown@xxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Daniel Brown <danbrown@xxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Two very useful PHP functions > To: "Raymond Irving" <xwisdom@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Thursday, April 30, 2009, 11:37 AM > On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 22:32, > Raymond Irving <xwisdom@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > > What do you think?
