isEmpty
-
var
Checks if a variable is really "empty". Code borrowed from PHP.net at http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php#90767 because we were previously using empty() to see if a variable is empty or not. But empty() dosen't work for attributes that have a value of "0", so we need something more robust here.
- an unset variable -> empty
- null -> empty
- 0 -> NOT empty
- "0" -> NOT empty
- false -> empty
- true -> NOT empty
- 'string value' -> NOT empty
- " "(white space) -> empty
- array()(empty array) -> empty
Parameters:
-
varMixedThe variable to check for empty on
