Description:
------------
The documentation for empty() states:

    "empty() returns FALSE if var has a 
     non-empty or non-zero value."

Leaving aside the fact that empty()'s behavior of returning TRUE if the variable contains the string "0" is completely useless, the documentation is wrong. It should read:

    "empty() returns FALSE if var has a 
     non-empty and non-zero value."
               ^^^

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
