#31813 [Csd->Bgs]: Bogus empty()

ID: 31813 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: stach at chello dot pl -Status: Closed +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: win32 (2000srv) PHP Version: 4.3.10 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-02 14:42:07] stach at chello dot pl I've found the explanation that empty() should work like this (however pre 4.3.10 empty in case like that would return false as I would expect). 0 in a string is not an empty value, and in my opinion empty should return false in case like this. But thats my thinkin :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-02 14:39:40] tony2001@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.
