Question

I need both isset and !='' in a condition, if I dont use isset it gives warning and I need !='' for else condition. So I need to use both

below code works well but dont return else, but when I change isset($array['1']['name'] to ($array['1']['name'] !='' then it return else condition.

if(isset($array['1']['name'] )) { 
    $this->output('<li class="name">',$array['1']['name'],'</li>'); 
}
else{ 
    $this->output('<li class="name">',$other,'</li>'); 
} 

Answer 1

Combine isset() with empty() using the &&operator

if(isset($array['1']['name']) && !empty($array['1']['name'])) {
