OOP: check if an object has been initialized

[phlow]

Hi there,

i have a terrible prob with OOP: i want to check if a variable has been initialized yet and if not do so. my code:

if (isset($language))
{
   $language = new language();
}

but the IF is never executed. any idea?

thank you so much, phlow

phlow,

the if statement is never entered if the language is not set.

for example:

if (isset($language)) {

 // is entered if language is set.

If you would like to set language if the var is not set, then we do:

if (!isset($language)) {

  // language not set, set below:
  $language = new language();

}

hth.
