是否有任何简短的方法来获取PHP中的数组值

Question

When I obtain a field 'text' of an array I have to do something like this:

$text = isset($tab['text'][0])?$tab['text'][0]:"";

is there any function that returns value when element $tab['text'] exists and "" when not and of course doesn't produce notice in latter case.

Answer 1

$text = @$tab['text'][0];
//------^

Note, $text could be NULL. To work around this:

$text = @$tab['text'][0] . "";
//------^
