note 38647 added to function.is-string

Beware, "is_string()" will not detect strings of zero length, eg: $foo = ""; if (is_string($foo)) { echo "foo IS a string!"; } else { echo "foo is NOT a string!"; } Much to my surprise, I would see "foo IS a string!". I found that trying to detect "strings of zero bytes" are best determined using 'if ($foo === "")' AND 'if ($foo == "")' types of tests. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38647 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38647&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38647&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
