Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

read the docs about @ http://php.net/empty :

"Note that this is meaningless when used on anything which isn't a variable; i.e. empty (addslashes ($name)) has no meaning since it would be checking whether something which isn't a variable is a variable with a FALSE value."
