At the moment I am checking if(!is_null($foo)) although this is breaking when the mysql column is a date and defaults to 0000-00-00.

    Change your table definition for the date column

    `date` DATE NULL DEFAULT NULL

    I always suggest to allow NULL for optional fields and to soundly distinguish between valid values like 0 and empty strings on the one hand and NULL (=not stated) on the other hand.
