Dmitry, please take a look at zend_std_has_property().

The "Actual Results" were from the results of the above script run on a
clean install of PHP 5.2.1 (Win 2000 SP4). No zend extensions are
present or in use.
The code above did not run as expected on any of the Win 200X servers
it was tested on. Line 6 of the output read "int(5) empty" in every
test case.
I suspect it may have to do with the fact that empty() does not accept
a function call as a parameter (i.e. empty(trim($myVar))) since
overloading calls __get. However, one would expect it to also result in
a fatal error if that were the case.

That's exactly how it works here.
Make sure you've disable any zend_extensions.

Description:
------------
When overloading with __get() to grab an index of an associative array
inside an object, the overloaded variable returns 'false' when tested
with empty() whether the value is empty or not (see Example 2 for
incorrect results).
Testing overloaded variables that were not in an associative array with
empty() returns the expected results (Example 3).
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class A {
public $myArray = array('nonEmptyVar' => 5, 'emptyVar' => '');
function __get($var) {
return $this->myArray[$var];
}
}
class B {
public $nonEmptyVar = 5;
public $emptyVar = '';
function __get($var) {
return $this->$var;
}
}
$a = new A();
$b = new B();
echo '<p>Example 1:<br>';
echo empty($a->myArray['nonEmptyVar']) ? 'empty' : 'not empty';
echo '<br>';
echo empty($a->myArray['emptyVar']) ? 'empty' : 'not empty';
echo '<p>Example 2:<br>';
var_dump($a->nonEmptyVar);
echo empty($a->nonEmptyVar) ? 'empty' : 'not empty';
echo '<br>';
var_dump($a->emptyVar);
echo empty($a->emptyVar) ? 'empty' : 'not empty';
echo '<p>Example 3:<br>';
echo empty($b->nonEmptyVar) ? 'empty' : 'not empty';
echo '<br>';
echo empty($b->emptyVar) ? 'empty' : 'not empty';
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Example 1:
not empty
empty
Example 2:
int(5) not empty
string(0) "" empty
Example 3:
not empty
empty
Actual result:
--------------
Example 1:
not empty
empty
Example 2:
int(5) empty
string(0) "" empty
Example 3:
not empty
empty
