PHP has a few functions to check if the required inputs have been met. Those functions are ```isset```, ```empty```, and ```is_numeric```.

### Checking form to make sure its set
|
||||
The ```isset``` checks to see if the field has been set and isn't null.
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```php
|
||||
$firstName = $_GET['firstName']
|
||||

if(isset($firstName)){

echo "firstName field is set". "<br>";
|
||||
}

else{
|
||||
echo "The field is not set."."<br>";
|
||||
}

```
