Those of you, who are relying on empty() to detect/filter null/empty values, realize that empty()
also filters zero(0) values. This is what i mean:
$var='';
if(empty($var))
{
echo "perfect and desired";
}
whereas ..
$var=0; or $var='0';
if(empty($var))
{
echo "undesired but still true";
}
so for such cases i advise you, to use this:
if(empty($var) && $var!=0)
{
echo "will not be printed if var is zero";
}
