Check to see if value is NULL

I've tried a couple of things and can't seem to get it to work properly.

I'm attempting to check if a value is NULL. I've tried things like:

[code]

if($variable$ == NULL) {
   $php_var = 0;}
[/code]

The variable isn't from PHP, its from a CMS system, that uses its variables as $something$. With this system, if nothing is typed in, its just blank spaces and the php would see:

[code]
if(     == NULL){
   $php_var = 0;}

[/code]

I'm trying to make it to where, if nothing was entered in, and the script sees the blank, then it would auto put it as 0. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. :)

$var = '$variable$';
if (strlen($var) == 0)
{
    $var = 0;
}
[/code]
[/quote]

Thanks Dave, that is exactly what I needed and it now works :) I tried something similar earlier, but I didn't put the single quotes around $variable$ from above.
