New Comment:
It's an unusual enough need that I think the get_defined_vars() solution posted
in the previous comment is good enough.

echo array_key_exists('b', get_defined_vars()) ? "exists" : "doesn't exist";

Description:
------------
At the moment isset call return true only when variable is set and it is not
null.
But there is no way (or I do not find it so far), how to just test variable for
existance. So it will be perfect if there will be some other call (for eg:
exist)
or some parametr how to get this behaviour
More in example.
Test script:
---------------
$a = null;
$testOnlyExistence = true;
echo isset($b); // prints false;
echo isset($a); // prints false;
echo isset($a, $testOnlyExistence); // prints true;
echo isset($b, $testOnlyExistence); // prints false;
// or
echo exist($a); // prints true;
echo exist($b); // prints false;
