+### 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']
 
-<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds  -->
+if(isset($firstName)){
-
+  echo "firstName field is set". "<br>";
