empty() has very many uses.

That is exactly the same as saying == has many uses. It does. So many uses that it's useless. Its semantics are nonsense.

if (isset($var) && $varl != false) {   foo($bool); }

$varl != false

You should never be doing this. Cheers, Bilge

Heh, to quote a great movie: That's just like, your opinion, man. In all seriousness, there are quite a number of uses for ==, especially because we don't have operators on objects, nor do we have value objects. Sometimes, equality isn't based on identity, but on value: https://3v4l.org/rRMNR — Rob

You don't use empty() on objects.
