Answer / p .g .senthilkumar
isset -> this variable handling functions determine whether
a variable is set . It checks whether a variable is set
even though it is empty.
empty -> as the term itself has already given a sign that
it would related to something that's empty, this variable
handling functions determine whether a variable is empty.
It checks whether a variable has a value whether it's empty
string, zero(0), or not set at all.

Answer / amit
isset() will ONLY return true when the value of the variable
is not NULL (and thereby the variable is at least defined).
empty() will return true when the value of the variable is
deemed to be an "empty" value, typically this means 0, "0",
NULL, FALSE and empty string, anything else is not empty.
Some examples
FALSE == isset($foo);
TRUE == empty($foo);
$foo = NULL;
FALSE == isset($foo);
TRUE == empty($foo);
$foo = 0;
TRUE == isset($foo);
TRUE == empty($foo);
$foo = 1;
TRUE == isset($foo);
FALSE == empty($foo);
