There is at least one case where the empty() function is very useful - it is when you have operations on an array. Imagine that you are storing data in an array, adding and unsetting elements - the quick method of checking if anything is left in an array is simply checking if empty($array) is FALSE (note that key_exists() works only if you check for the specific key) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27686 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27686 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27686
