php if variable is empty default to other text

I am wondering if it is possible to default to a piece of text if a varable is empty in PHP?

Something like this, maybe????

<?php echo stripslashes($row["moreinfo"]) || "None."; ?>

Picco

<?php
if (!isset($row["moreinfo"]) || $row["moreinfo"]==NULL)
{
$row["moreinfo"]="None.";
}
echo stripslashes($row["moreinfo"]);
?>

If you know the variable will always be set no matter what, you don't need the !isset($row["moreinfo"]).

Or even better:


if (empty($row['moreinfo'])) {
$row['moreinfo'] = 'None.';
}
echo stripslashes($row['moreinfo']);

I was thinking more using a ternary operator to do this.....similarly to what is done in Perl....

$row['moreinfo'] = (empty($row['moreinfo'])) ? 'None.' : $row['moreinfo'];
echo stripslashes($row['moreinfo'];
