note 76117 added to function.strlen

want a predicate that tests a string for emptiness? use strlen instead of empty(). strlen only returns a false-equivalent value for ''. example: // takes string_array and returns an array without any values w/empty strings function filter_empties ($string_array) { // note: the immensely retarded empty() function returns true on string '0' // use strlen as empty string predicate return count($string_array) ? array_filter ($string_array, 'strlen') : $string_array; } ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 67.60.94.208 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76117 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76117/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76117/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76117/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76117/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76117/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76117/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76117 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76117 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
