personally all i want is isset(blah,blah,blah)
im dealing with 18 items from a form here and im getting sick of typing them all
;)
im not too worried about which one isnt set because i just display a not all
fields filled in and use a javascript back button. simple?
thats all i want but if you start adding this to one of these types of functions
you will probably want to add it to empty() and so on ?
