Oh ya I noticed a bug in 3.11.. A unset variable is not a deallocation of the variable but a value like null is a value.. Do this create a associative array, set a variable equal to the associative array but give the array a undefined key, the variable that is given this value is also unset.. This is a cool trick but too deep for some users.. Try this: $thisstuff["yah"] = "yabba"; $stuff = $thisstuff[""]; if (isset($stuff)) { print "yay"; } else { print "nay"; }
