I wrote my own as one of my very first PHP library functions.  It's 
extremely useful for writing simple and clean code, like:

$state = ArrayValue($_POST,'state','NY');

Then you need one in javascript:

function getProperty(object,property,defvalue) {
    defvalue = defvalue==null ? '' : defvalue;
    if(object == null) return defvalue
    if(typeof(object[property])=='undefined') return defvalue;
    else return object[property];
}
