• Introducing the Webservice Behavior

  Jul 04 2008

• More dogfood

  Jun 29 2008

  Well I just got back from a wonderful 2 week vacation of europe. My wife and I went to Amsterdam, Rome and Paris, for an art-geekout.

Now I already knew that isset() would return false on a variable not existing, or being set to null. However, I was not expecting it to return false on an array key existing and being set to null.
