Session Handling Sundefined Variable

[Adamhumbug]

I have a message bar that when a page reloads, a message appears at the top of the screen.

I feed the message with session variables that are set at the end of the action (submission for example)

When the page reloads the message displays and then unsets the session variables.

The issue is when the page first loads (when it has never run an action) and gives me the Notice: Undefined index: message.

My question is, how can i handle the session being blank when the page first loads and thus not get the notice.

I think i have answered my own question about 10 seconds after posting this.

if(!empty($_SESSION['message'])){

doesnt seem to generate the same message that

	if($_SESSION['message'] !=''){

did

 

Thanks anyway

A clearer test could be to use the "isset" function:

	if (isset($_SESSION['message']))
	echo $_SESSION['message'];
