If statement with condition isset and comparing not working together

Question

I\'m having a problems with making if statements:

    // code if detail variable exists and is equal t         


        

Answer 1

isset is a boolean operator which returns TRUE or FALSE. You don't need to compare it to 1.

if( isset($detail) )

As a side note, just because the variable is set, does not mean it's not empty. You may want to just check that it's not empty:

if( !empty($detail) )
