PHP version:      5.0.3
PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  isset() and empty() return "Trying to get property of 
non-object"

Description:
------------
Using isset() or empty() on an unset child/parent object throws "Trying to
get property of non-object" errors.

This is contrary to the behavior of PHP 4 and makes no sense given the
purpose of the functions and their descriptions.

isset() and empty() should properly handle querying unset objects for
children without returning errors.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo '$not->set->variable' . "\n";
echo isset($not->set->variable) ? 'isset true' : 'isset false';
echo "\n";
echo empty($not->set->variable) ? 'empty true' : 'isset false';
echo "\n------------------\n";

echo '$not->set[$key]' . "\n";
echo isset($not->set[$key]) ? 'isset true' : 'isset false';
echo "\n";
echo empty($not->set[$key]) ? 'empty true' : 'empty false';
echo "\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Expected output:  (No error messages)

$not->set->variable
isset false
empty true
------------------
$not->set[$key]
isset false
empty true


Actual result:
--------------
$not->set->variable
