Topic: How To Check If Array Is Empty Or False Value

i want to know if you can help me. i have this code

<?php

$myarray= array();

$myarray[0] = "";

$myarray[1] = false;

if($myarray){

echo "this is true";

}else{

echo "this is false";

}

?>

but when i run it, it still comes out true?

when i do this:

PHPCODE:

print_r(array_values($myarray));

it shows me this: Array ( [0] => )

how can i check or verify that an array has a value of zero or false then?

you can do two things:

OPTION 1: USE ISSET() FUNCTION

<?php
$myarray= array();

$myarray[0] = "";
$myarray[1] = false;

if(isset($myarray)){
echo "this is true";
}else{
echo "this is false";
}
?>

OPTION 2: USE EMPTY() FUNCTION

<?php
$myarray= array();

$myarray[0] = "";
$myarray[1] = false;

if(empty($myarray)){
echo "this is true";
}else{
echo "this is false";
}
?>
