php -r ' $r = array("foo" => ""); var_dump(isset($r["foo"]),empty($r["foo"]));'
so empty() should give you the result your looking for ...
some tips:
1. generally use $_GET or $_POST in preference to $_REQUEST
2. be specific about your input validation, e.g.:
if (isset($_GET['var']) && ($_GET['var'] == 'foo')) {
echo "got it!";
}
