Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php > Note: > When using empty() on inaccessible object properties, the __isset() overloading method will be > called, if > declared.
