note 71292 deleted from function.empty by colder

Note Submitter: tomi dot kaistila at sha dot quessir dot net Reason: in docs ---- It's good to also note that empty() can only be used on variables. Although this is clearly said in the documentation, it is easy to forget it and try to directly pass a return value to it from a function. e.g. <?php include 'class.whois.php'; $whois = new whois(); if(!empty($whois->getWhoami())) { echo "Could not find you."; } ?> This will produce a fatal error enigmatically saying, "Can't use method return value in write context..."
