[SOLVED] E_ALL: Check for a $_GET index?

[tmallen]

With this sort of code:

 

<?php
//...
        $this->sortState = $_GET[$name . 'Sort'] ? 
            $_GET[$name . 'Sort'] : self::DEFAULTSORT;
//...
?>

 

E_ALL reporting throws this notice:

 

Notice: Undefined index: YearsSort in ScriptName.php on line 16

 

depending on which $name . 'Sort' isn't in the URL. But that ternary checks if it exists, right? So why do I get that notice? Obviously, the script works fine, and I shouldn't stress over this sort of notice, but I'd like to know what the preferred way is to fix it. An (!empty($_GET[...])) check?

try

<?php

//...

        $this->sortState = isset($_GET[$name . 'Sort']) ?

            $_GET[$name . 'Sort'] : self::DEFAULTSORT;

//...

?>

Thanks, that fixed it. Feel so unnecessary...
