codexpower Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 What I remember from my college days is that isset check whether the variable has a value set or not and return true or false value. However I encountered a code in wordpress - // Set up the content width value based on the theme's design and stylesheet. if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) $content_width = 625; Here why is this sign used ! This sign is actually not equal to, Right? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/294288-is-isset-different-in-wordpress/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 ! is the operator for not. So !isset() reads as "not isset" or "is not set". That code sets $content_width to 625 if it has not already been defined.

jeffreyappel Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would like to explain a bit more: ! is a NOT sign. Its a logical operator.you could place this before any test value to INVERT it. Here, in your text, isset will returns true if value is not set, other wise return false.
