Description:
------------
When an empty() call is done within a class that extends the MySQLi class, an incorrect result is provided.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Foo extends MySQLi
{
	protected $fooData = array();
	
	public function isEmpty()
	{
		$this->fooData[] = 'Bar';
		return empty($this->fooData);
	}
}

$Foo = new Foo('localhost', 'root', '', 'test');
$isEmpty = $Foo->isEmpty();

var_dump($isEmpty);

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)

You set $this->fooData[]to contain 'Bar' -> it's not empty -> returns 
true..what's the bug..?

Yes, exactly, it is not empty. However, I return the result of empty() ( not !empty() ) which should be false, since the array actually contains data.

Ah, I tested with PHP 5.2CVS and it works as expected. So this is PHP_5_3 (and propably HEAD) issue only.
