Is there any preference for:

$val = isset($arr['key']) ? $arr['key'] : null;

vs:

$val = @$arr['key'];

?

Oftentimes I like to check for a key value, and then supply a default if it is not there. It can be useful to make up a routine that does this for you all in one step:

$rowsPerPage = arraySafe($options,'rowsperpage',25);
$orderLines = arraySafe($orders,'lines',array());

The function is:

function arraySafe($array,$key,$default='') {
 if(isset($array[$key]))
    return $array[$key];
 else
    return $default;
}
