Bug #17330 empty() function fails when passing data from statically called class method
Submitted: 2002-05-21 04:11 UTC Modified: 2002-05-21 05:22 UTC
From: etriaph at kdesktop dot org Assigned:
Status: Not a bug Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 4.2.0 OS: Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2002-05-21 04:11 UTC] etriaph at kdesktop dot org
The following error occurred: 
 
<b>Parse error</b>:  parse error, unexpected T_STRING, 
expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in <b>/www/htdocs/index.wc</b> 
on line <b>21</b><br /> 
 
When I ran the following code: 
 
    if (!empty(HttpRequest::fetchPost(ENT))) 
    { 
        // code. 
    } 
 
The internals of HttpRequest::fetchPost() returns the value 
of $HTTP_POST_VARS[ENT].  ENT is properly defined (as 
"ent"), and I was able to fix it by doing: 
 
    $postData = HttpRequest::fetchPost(ENT); 
 
    if (!empty($postData)) 
    { 
        // code. 
    { 
 
My original code should execute without fail in my opinion, 
but if there is an acceptable reason for this bug, then so 
be it.

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Empty only works on *variables*.
