Check if model property is set (when null)

Question

Say I have a model called Fruit which can have a null value for seeds. The seeds column exists in the database table.

The problem is that using isset is returning false for this model property when it is set to null, or maybe it has something to do with the __magic stuff in general? So how do I check if the model has the property seeds even when it is set to null or declared via magic?

For example:

$fruit = Fruit::find(1);

if (isset($fruit->seeds)) {
  echo 'Yes';
}
else {
  echo 'No';
}

This will echo No if the value of seeds is set to null in the database.

Add the condition is_null($fruit->seeds).

You can use is_null():

if (isset($fruit->seeds) && !is_null($fruit->seeds)) {
