note 120165 added to function.empty

Note that empty() is flakey when trying to evaluate an attribute of an StdClass. It is probably a timing issue. <?php $user = new StdClass(); $user->country = "Australia"; $results = empty($user->country); var_dump($results); //output can vary between: bool(false) and bool(true) if you run it multiple times and vary up the values in $user->country. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 61.69.84.230 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/120165 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120165/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120165/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120165/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120165/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120165/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120165/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/120165 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/120165 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
