Programming
Some simple ideas for PHP programming
1) Return an item posted from a form or a blank without warning message.
Warning messages can prove very annoying in PHP - never more than when they prevent a page redirect.
One way to overcome this is with a function to return blanks if the post is not set
function issetreturn($nameofvariable){
return (isset($variable))?$variable: '';
}
a second variation on this is
function issetget($array,$enclosedtag) {
return (isset($array[$enclosedtag]))?$array[$enclosedtag]: '';
}
Obviously you can mess around with this so
return (isset($array[$enclosedtag]))?$array[$enclosedtag]: '0';
would be another option if you wish to return a zero to input into a database;
When using the issetreturn function you would declare something like this:
$sName=issetreturn($_REQUEST['clientname']);
Then the variable $sName could be used in an SQL insert statement for example.
