PHP ISSET

The isset() function checks whether a variable is set, which means that it has to be declared and is not NULL.

This function returns true if the variable exists and is not NULL, otherwise it returns false.

Check whether a variable is empty. Also check whether the variable is set/declared:
Note: If multiple variables are supplied, then this function will return true only if all of the variables are set.
Tip: A variable can be unset with the unset() function.

Syntax

isset(variable, ....);

eg. $x = $_POST[‘fisrt_name’];
if(isset($x)){code}

Parameter Values
