#19056 [NEW]: empty() function is completely broken

From: adets@idsk.com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: empty() function is completely broken empty() function is not working correctly. It returns true if variable has a value of: 0 & 0.0 (integer, float), false (boolean) or "0" (string). This makes this function COMPLETELY USELESS. Is it possible to implement this function correctly (it will be great!!!), remove it at all (because it is useless now) or at least correct documentation? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19056&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19056&r=globals
