this line gives me syntax error:
if ($fU == null) {
how should it be written?

I thing
if ($fU == $null)
or better:
if (!defined $fU)
just for curiosity, is performance of the above two equivalent?

ok, please change the syntax.
$fU == "" - extra string conversion
this i don't understand. if i assign $something = "", then $something
is defined and test defined $something should return true.
$fU == $null slowest (has to go through a pv call and
string or integer
conversion)

one more question related to this: how do i make a variable
"undefined"? is there a function uset($foo) or undefine($foo) or do i need to use slow method
$foo = $null
Yes, assign anything that is undefined, e.g.:
$foo = $undefined_value will work too.

welcome, anyhow, what Andrei suggested works as
well, e.g., $ab = $null;
$ab = $some_undef_pv;
yes, but i assume that that is again slower because of the pv lookup.

Think of it as automatic conversion.

This will evaluate to TRUE also in sip-router (if (defined($var))).
The question is how is if ($foo == "") evaluated when $foo is
undefined in php.

Why would you want sip-router to behave differently then other scripting
languages?
I agree that comparing with undefined is and undefined operation so any
solution is more a matter of convention then logic (from a strictly
logical point of view it should throw an error), but since the
convention and what most people expect is that comparing and undefined
value to "" should return TRUE, why innovate?

i don't want that. in php
unset($foo);
if ($foo == "") {
echo "yes\n";
} else {
echo "no\n";
}
prints "yes", but
unset($foo);
if ($foo === "") {
echo "yes\n";
} else {
echo "no\n";
}
prints "no".
=== operator thus allows me to tell, if a var is undefined or assigned
"" value.
== is not good for testing if variable is defined, which prompted this
discussion:
!defined $fU fastest
$fU == "" - extra string conversion
$fU == $null slowest (has to go through a pv call and string or integer
conversion)
so the middle one is not ok for that purpose, but it doesn't need to be
because defined() exists.
