 New Comment:

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.

"In PHP 4 and earlier also objects with empty properties are considered
empty while not in PHP 5."

I think that the empty() page deserves a little note about this.
Can you please add this, Aidan? :)

It's covered under http://php.net/migration5

Perhaps this deserves a note on the empty() page, perhaps not.

"As far as the new OO model is concerned objects are always handles,
they are always true and they aren't empty." (c) Andi

Making it a documentation problem then.

<?php
function empty_object($obj){
  return count((array)$obj)==0;
}
class foo{var $a=1;}
$std=new stdclass;
$foo=new foo;
var_dump(empty_object($obj), empty_object($foo));
?>
bool(true)
bool(false)

I find this bug pretty irritating too. In my opinion 
empty() shouldn't behave this way, or at least like Jorma 
said, it should be mentioned in docs or some other way to 
check if objects are empty.
