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

This was discussed for PHP6, but eventually decided not to have such a
function. Instead, we now have the following: $var = $_GET['var'] ?: 5;
Taken from http://www.corephp.co.uk/archives/19-Prepare-for-PHP-6.html
'you'd be able to do something like this: "$foo = $_GET['foo'] ?: 42;" (i.e.
if foo is true, $foo will equal 42).'

Here's the scenario -
Website has some demonstrative images.
I create these images with the gimp - starting with a jpeg, adding a few
text layers and straight lines.
I then save as xcf in case I ever need to edit.
Then I export to jpeg, resize for thumb and export to jpeg again.
Admin interface to my web face needs to allow for upload of image.
What would be sweet is if I could just upload the gimp xcf in these
cases, and have ImageMagick do the export to jpeg and thumbnail creation.
Advantage of doing it this way - it will allow me to keep the original
xcf on the server along with the generated images.
Issues -
I'd rather not have any code that spawns a shell, so I can only do this
if the pecl imageMagick module is up to snuff for xcf->jpeg conversion.
Anyone used it? Looks like I'll have to compile it, before I do that I
would like to know if it even is up to the task.
Second possible issue - I don't know how well imageMagick can deal with
an xcf file that uses text layer / fonts. I assume I'll have to install
the font used on the server (Adobe New Century Schoolbook Type 1 - yes,
I have license for it), but if so, how would I specify to ImageMagick
the font path?
Anyone done this sort of thing?
I may just do the export on my home box via gimp and just scp the xcf to
the server so a copy is stored there as well, but it would be nice to
just stick the xcf into a file upload field and just have php do the rest.

Do the text layers have to go beneath something on the original xcf, or
have special effects applied to them? If not, you can add t existing
images with GD, by using a source image, adding text layers, etc, and
then exporting it as a new graphic.

Yeah - I know I can do text with gd, I already do for some things.
The issue is that the placement of the text and the lines is custom per
image, so it would require php coding each instance.
Some examples -

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r103/FunkyRes/telegans_shields02.jpg
Can be done with gd but it's a lot easier to add the text layers with a
gui image editor - unless gimp has a php-gd export function that could
write the code for me (that would be cool)

Well, you could wrap it up in a function to make it a bit lovelier. Eg:
$foo = createObject(array('key' => 'value'));
It's not great, but PHP doesn't have a object literal syntax AFAIK.

You could use JSON,
$foo = json_decode('{"a":1,"b":3}');
but I guess that's not much better than Richard's suggestion.

Didn't think of that (well... it's new). That's actually much better I
think, since you get the added boon of ease of portability to JS (if
that's even a factor).

Hello,
Id like to use the popup file system box(<input name="userfile" type="file"
/>) to choose a file name , but I only want to upload the filename , not the
file. Can I do that?
Thanks
Mike

You're not supposed to have any access to the remote visitor's
computer, and the path to the file being uploaded could contain
sensitive information (ie. like username of windows user). There are
ways to get the information, even to read information on disk without
the use of a file upload form. But they are/will be considered like
security threats and are/will be closed down.
IMO, whatever way you find to get this information is meant 1) not to
be portable accross different browsers and 2) to stop working
eventually. (Of course unless you ask the user to explicitly type the
path in a text input)
What do you need this for?
