I think this is a relatively simple question to answer. Here is the basic layout of what I want to do.
I have an array
$polarity_array
Values of the array are HTML tags which display an image.
But some values of these arrays are empty, because I performed a function which UNSETS any array value equal to "No mod in this slot" (A dropdown box selection in a form when they submit something)
I then have a heredoc, echoing my HTML page which contains the values of these arrays like such:
{$polarity_array['image_polarity1']}
{$polarity_array['image_polarity2']}
{$polarity_array['image_polarity3']}
{$polarity_array['image_polarity4']}
{$polarity_array['image_polarity5']}
{$polarity_array['image_polarity6']}
{$polarity_array['image_polarity7']}
{$polarity_array['image_polarity8']}
But since some values AREN'T set (and the unset values depend on what the user submitted initially), I get "undefined index" errors.
Is there a better way to do this?
