NULL
NULL
The special NULL value represents a variable with no value. NULL is the only possible value of type null.
A variable is considered to be null if:
- it has been assigned the constant
NULL.
- it has not been set to any value yet.
- it has been unset().
Syntax
There is only one value of type null, and that is the case-insensitive constant NULL.
<?php
$var = NULL;
?>
See also the functions is_null() and unset().
Casting to NULL
Warning
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.2.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Casting a variable to null using (unset) $var will not remove the variable or unset its value. It will only return a NULL value.
