The isSet() function always returns false when checking the contents of a valid array entry, when
the corresponding value is NULL. So, for example, the following check will always return
boolean(false):
<?php
$test = array(
'a' => 1,
'b' => NULL,
);
var_dump(isSet($test['b'])); # false
?>
As a workaround for this behavior, when using the array_keys() function in combination with
is_array(), the following statement will always return boolean(true):
<?php
$test = array(
'a' => 1,
'b' => NULL,
);
var_dump(in_array('b', array_keys($test))); # true
?>
I should also point out, that the script from poster 'pianistsk8er at gmail dot com' at
'10-Dec-2004 03:23' has a few Local File Inclusion vulnerabilities, so don't use his
script if you want to stay safe (!).
