Or change the error_reporting level, or turn off display_errors (okay,
technically the warning is still happening in the latter case, but IIRC
that's also true of @--both simply suppress the *reporting* of the report
rather than the *occurance* of the error).
This is why it's best to do multiple checks and choose them carefully. Ex:
if(isset($) and !empty($a) and !$a)
or
if(isset($) and $a===FALSE)
etc.
