Wrong. isset() has a very proper name "is-set", which to me and other people says that it will see if a variable is set (has a value). It does this job admirably and it certainly not broken. Documentation specifies how this function will perform perfectly.

Then please explain the logic of why $var = null
isset($var) returns false.
In your words "it will see if a variable is set (has a value)".
$var IS set and DOES have a value, it just happens to be a value of null.
