Hi,
I came across this:
echo sizeof(array());
echo sizeof("");
$a = "";
var_dump( empty($a));
$a = array();
var_dump(empty($a));
So funny! How something can have a size greater than 0 but still be empty?
I think PHP is reinventing the inconsistency word.
But then let assume that empty is just making a cast in array.
$a = "";
empty($a) //true
empty((array)$a) //false
Ok so empty is big ugly switch case on type.
empty(0); //true
empty(45); //false
Wooow reinventing emptiness on number....
