php_info() i think?

Looks ok. But that doesn't mean the variable actually contains a null
value. Try setting it to NULL before you do perfomr the if().

$var = NULL;

if(is_null($var))
{
	echo "yo adrian! i'm NULL!";
}
else
{
	echo "couldn't think of anything funny to put here";
}

That will help you determine if you're at least using it correctly.

Chris.
