<para>
Determine whether a variable is set.
</para>
<para>
If a variable has been unset with <function>unset</function>, it will no
longer be set. <function>isset</function> will return &false; if testing a
variable that has been set to &null;. Also note that a &null; byte
(<literal>"\0"</literal>) is not equivalent to the PHP &null; constant.
</para>
<para>
If multiple parameters are supplied then <function>isset</function> will
return &true; only if all of the parameters are set. Evaluation goes from
left to right and stops as soon as an unset variable is encountered.

var_dump(isset($a['test'])); // TRUE
var_dump(isset($a['foo'])); // FALSE
var_dump(isset($a['hello'])); // FALSE
// The key 'hello' equals NULL so is considered unset
// If you want to check for NULL key values then try:
var_dump(array_key_exists('hello', $a)); // TRUE
?>

<para>
<function>isset</function> only works with variables as passing anything
else will result in a parse error. For checking if
