if is not set php code example

Example 1: is null php

// The is_null() function checks whether a variable is NULL or not. This function returns true (1) if the variable is NULL, otherwise it returns false/nothing.

<?php
    $var = NULL;  
	if (is_null($var)) {
      	echo "yes, is null";
      
    } else {
      	echo "not null";
    }
?>

Example 2: isset in php

/**
 * Returns a bool (true or false)
 */
isset($x);
/**
 * Examples
 */
$x = 'myValue';
if(isset($x)){
	echo 'x is set';
}
/**
 * this will echo out 'x is set'
 */


$x = null;
if(isset($x)){
	echo 'x is set';
}
/**
 * This will NOT echo out 'x is set'
 */


if(isset($y)){
 	echo 'y is set'; 
}
/**
 * This will NOT echo out 'y is set'
 */

Example 3: error php

// how to display php errors on your browser : 
// first step, create an error function : 

$errors = array();

// now you have just to insert the function like this : 

if (........){
  $errors['the_name_of_the_error']='the error message';
}

// example : 
// we want to display an error when the user does not correctly fill, 
// in the 'password' box when registering on your website : 

if(empty($_POST['password']) ||
   $_POST['password'] != $_POST['password_confirm']){
	$errors['errors']= "You must enter a valid password";
}
