note 83361 added to function.empty

In reply to "admin at ninthcircuit dot info", Using str_replace is unnecessary. I would encourage the use of trim which would most likely be faster (haven't tested) and easier. Trim also takes care of other white space like line breaks and tabs. Actually, in most of the applications I code, I use a multi-dimensional array map function with trim on the Super Globals such as $_POST, $_GET and $_COOKIE as so far, there hasn't been an instance where I would want any user input to begin or end with whitespace. The good thing about doing this is that you never have to worry about 'trimming' your input which makes your code easier and more reliable (incase you forget to trim some input). ---- Server IP: 117.104.160.194 Probable Submitter: 203.171.98.49 (proxied: 203.171.98.49) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83361 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83361/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83361/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83361/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83361/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83361/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83361/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83361 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83361 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
