 $x = "";

 if (isset($x))
    print "X is set\n";

 if (isset($y));
    print "Y is set\n";

 if (strlen($x) > 0)
    print "X is set (SL)\n";

 if (strlen($y) > 0)
    print "Y is set (SL)\n";

###
The following script should at best print 'X is Set' because $x has been set to "". However This is my output:

X is set
Y is set

$y is nowhere defined in the script, yet isset returns it as set.

Please feel free to contact if you need any more info.

The script was written incorrectly.

hello
 Tis is not a bug, u had placed a semi-colon after the if staement, so print is not includeed in the if condition cheking, so it priints Y is set.

bye
