pnVarCleanFromInput doesn't preserve empty variables

By using pnVarCleanFromInput(), this information gets lost because it doesn't distinguish between empty and NULL. Solution: In function pnVarCleanFromInput(), file pnAPI.php, the line saying array_push($resarray, NULL) has to be replaced with array_push($resarray, ''). After this correction, everything works for me. Caution: Maybe also pnVarPrepFor* have to be checked for this bug!

The access code is printed as "accesscode=", which is not HTML. HTML would be "name=". And with this correction, now it really works ;)
