isset() returns TRUE if a value is NULL. That seems wrong to me as there is no way to distinguish
between a value set to NULL and a truly undefined value.
If you have this problem inside a class, there is a fix:
<?php
class T
{
function __isset($att)
{
$props = get_object_vars($this);
return array_key_exists($att, $props);
}
}
$x = new T();
$x->foo_exists = 4;
var_dump(isset($x->foo_exists)); // TRUE
var_dump(isset($x->bar_exists)); // FALSE
?>
