Difference between isset() and !empty()

In PHP, both isset() and !empty() are used to check the existence and value of a variable, but they have some key differences:

• !empty() returns false if a variable is null.

Example:

$variable = null;

$variable = 0;
var_dump(isset($variable)); // Output: bool(true)
var_dump(!empty($variable)); // Output: bool(false)
