Not sure, but we may need to check whether the value is actually null or not.
Could you try running real-world tests with some empty LDAP attributes, to see whether this behaves correctly or not?

Using a real world (though fake data) LDAP octet stream of length zero, internally the entry contains a value which is an empty PHP string. As far as I can find any non-existing attributes do not return in the entry, and null values get converted to empty strings.
Output:
// var_dump($entry)
object(Symfony\Component\Ldap\Entry)#23 (2) {
["dn":"Symfony\Component\Ldap\Entry":private]=>
string(34) "uid=john2,ou=People,dc=localdomain"
["attributes":"Symfony\Component\Ldap\Entry":private]=>
array(21) {
["objectClass"]=>
array(4) {
["count"]=>
int(3)
[0]=>
string(13) "inetOrgPerson"
[1]=>
string(12) "posixAccount"
[2]=>
string(13) "shadowAccount"
}
[0]=>
string(11) "objectClass"
["uid"]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
int(1)
[0]=>
string(5) "john2"
}
...
[6]=>
string(9) "gidNumber"
["gecos"]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
int(1)
[0]=>
string(0) ""
}
[7]=>
string(5) "gecos"
["loginShell"]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
int(1)
[0]=>
string(9) "/bin/bash"
}
[8]=>
string(10) "loginShell"
["homeDirectory"]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
int(1)
[0]=>
string(10) "/home/john"
}
[9]=>
string(13) "homeDirectory"
["count"]=>
int(10)
}
}
// var_dump($entry->hasAttibute('gecos'))
bool(true)
// var_dump($entry->getAttribute('gecos'))
array(2) {
["count"]=>
int(1)
[0]=>
string(0) ""
}
So there should be no problem, because empty strings return an isset of true.
