You'll notice several notes on this page stating that isset() is significantly faster than
array_key_exists(). This may be true except for one small hitch. isset() will return false for
arrays keys that have there value set to NULL, which is therefore not entirely accurate.
Example:
<?php
$foo = array();
$foo['bar'] = NULL;
var_dump(isset($foo['bar']));
var_dump(array_key_exists('bar', $foo));
?>
will output:
bool(false)
bool(true)
Be aware of this!
