In reply to poutri_j's post (albeit old) about an empty array() == NULL. It's not that an empty array is considered null, its that both are considered FALSE in a comparison. So: <?php $array = array(); if($array==NULL) echo '$array == NULL'; # Echos if($array===NULL) echo '$array === NULL'; # Doesn't echo. ?> This is as expected and something that all newcomers should pick up on.
