Simple if statement question

[Canman2005]

Hi all

 

I have a question about if statements, been trying to figure out what the solution could be, but im totally stuck.

 

Okay, I have a simple if statement

 

<?php
if (isset($_GET['user']) != '')
{
print "yes";
}

 

From the above, you will see that if the url is

 

www.domain.com/page.php?user=dave

 

Then it prints "yes", but if the url is

 

www.domain.com/page.php?user=

 

Then it prints nothing.

 

This is fine so far, but if user doesnt exist in the url, for example

 

www.domain.com/page.php

 

then it prints "yes".

 

Surley if ?user doesnt exisit in the URL, then it should print anything.

 

Does that make sense?

 

How can you say

 

if user exists in the url then do the following....

 

Anyone?

 

Thanks in advance

The "isset()" function returns a "true" or "false" so it will always not equal the empty string. What you want is

<?php
if (isset($_GET['user']))
{
    print "yes";
}
?>
