How about if PTR_fcc is not so much undefined on the JavaScript side, as an empty string. So that I'm passing e.g. this, via AJAX:

   ... &PTR_fcc=&myvar=27 ...

What does that mean in my PHP script when I then do:

   $PTR_fcc = isset($_POST['PTR_fcc'])==true ? $_POST['PTR_fcc'] : 0;

i.e. what value does $_POST['PTR_fcc'] have?
