How would I add isset() and keep the empty() on my code below?
$pagesize = (!empty($_GET['pagesize'])) ? $_GET['pagesize'] : 20;
UPDATE:
I am just wanting to make sure php doesn't produce any notices or warnings
Is this what you mean?
$pagesize = (isset($_GET['pagesize']) && !empty($_GET['pagesize'])) ?
$_GET['pagesize'] :
20;

EDIT:
To be complete, empty already checks if something is set, so you don't need to use isset() as well.
I would also caution against using this code if it is going directly into a query or something similar. Consider using intval, is_numeric and similar functions.
