   Unfortunately, neither solution would work.  isset() will return

for both explicitly-set NULL variables and undefined variables alike.


That's why I was testing isset() fist, however as you pointed out, that
is crap also.  :-(


  $testvariable1;
  $testvariable2 = null;
  $testvariable3 = '';

  var_dump($testvariable1);
  var_dump($testvariable2);
  var_dump($testvariable3);

  var_dump( isset( $testvariable1));
  var_dump( isset( $testvariable2));
  var_dump( isset( $testvariable3));

  var_dump( is_null( $testvariable1));
  var_dump( is_null( $testvariable2));
  var_dump( is_null( $testvariable3));

NULL NULL string(0) ""
bool(false) bool(false) bool(true)
bool(true) bool(true) bool(false)
