Can anyone tell me the different between checking if a variable has value using the empty() function or "truthy" in an if statement? As far as I can tell they achieve the same thing?.. I am writing a function for Wordress that loops through the taxonomies and both work but I am not sure which is best.
$taxonomies = get_taxonomies($args, $output, $operator);
if (!empty($taxonomies)) {
...code here
}
or
$taxonomies = get_taxonomies($args, $output, $operator);
if ($taxonomies) {
...code here
}
</div>
