Shorter example of current PHP implementation: $a = ['x' => null]; var_dump(isset($a['x'])); // false var_dump(array_key_exists($a, 'x')); // true $o = (object) ['x' => null]; var_dump(isset($a->x)); // true var_dump(property_exists($a, 'x')); // true PHP 8 $o = (object) ['x' => null]; var_dump(isset($a->x)); // false var_dump(property_exists($a, 'x')); // true This would actually be more consistent with the isset() behavior together with associative arrays and it would allow us to handle typed properties that where not initialized (as illustrated in the longer example).

The behavior of isset() with array keys that were explicitly set to null never changed. ref: https://3v4l.org/TS621 However, this does not change my proposal. :) -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger
