Because sometimes you just want to check if something is set due to null,
'' and 0 being important.
$var = '';
empty($var); // evaluates to true
isset($var); // evaluates to true
unset($var);
empty($var); // evaluates to true
isset($var); // evaluates to false

Yes. They do the same thing. Couple things to think about, though. If
$_GET['op'] is 0, those commands will turn it into ''. Probably not what
you want. Also, though less important, if it's already '', there's no
need to do the step of resetting it to ''. Sometimes, a cleaner test is:
$op = isset($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : '';
