want a predicate that tests a string for emptiness? use strlen instead of empty(). strlen only returns a false-equivalent value for ''. example: <?php // 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') : $string_array; } ?> --was-- want a predicate that tests a string for emptiness? use strlen instead of empty(). strlen only returns a false-equivalent value for ''. example: // takes string_array and returns an array without any values w/empty strings function filter_empties ($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; } http://php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php
