Assigning a default val to a var

[jbias]

Easy question...

Wondering if there's a way to set a default value to a variable if the variable isn't already set? What I'm trying to do is lay out all (or most) of my variables at the onset, but I want to give them default vals if they're not already assigned. Right now I'd be using:

if (!isset($var1)) { $var = "xxx"; }

Maybe use a loop to make it quicker...you can use variables to hold the names of variables...

$$var
$var = $var
etc

well what ure doing is right

if(!isSet($var)){
$var = "defaultvalue";
}
