note 62442 added to function.empty

Re: inerte is my gmail.com username's comment: While that may be true, those two statements (empty($var), $var == '') are NOT the same. When programming for web interfaces, where a user may be submitting '0' as a valid field value, you should not be using empty(). <?php $str = '0'; // outputs 'empty' echo empty($str) ? 'empty' : 'not empty'; // outputs 'not empty' echo $str == '' ? 'empty' : 'not empty'; ?> ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 68.148.210.62 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/62442 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62442/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62442/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62442/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62442/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62442/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62442/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62442 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/62442 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
