The empty() function is compared side-by-side with the isset() function but there is an important
difference between them. While isset() allows for multiple variables to be evaluated:
$a = "test";
$b = "anothertest";
var_dump(isset($a)); // TRUE
var_dump(isset($a, $b)); // TRUE
unset ($a);
var_dump(isset($a)); // FALSE
var_dump(isset($a, $b)); // FALSE
However, you cannot use empty in a like way - it only evaluates one at a time. Maybe in the next
version...
