If I use an if statement like,
<?php if(strlen($variable) >=3) { ... } ?>
and the variable isn't actually set, this would bring me an error in PHP 5(3.6). But if I use isset() and strlen(), it would not. However, in PHP 4(4.9), when I use only strlen(), it comes through completely fine, without any errors.
Is this something that has changed since version 4.4.9? If not, is there a way I can bring back the old fashioned way of checking variables in php.ini? I find it really strange that you'd have to run both of these functions on a variable, as it really makes the code more messy than necessary. Especially if you're working with ternary operators...
To be exact, I'm working on a GET variable, and I'm getting these kind of errors:
Undefined index: x in file.php on line x
