Or is there something else here that I'm not seeing? empty() can only be used on variables, RTFM: http://nl.php.net/empty but I do agree that the message is bogus...

The error message isn't too good but it's not something which is easy to fix (and it's not critical). Got to think about it... I prefer looking at a couple of other bugs which were reported which are pretty much the last two critical problems I can see before RC1. Andi
