How to check if stdClass object is empty or not in php? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Cast to an array first

$tmp = (array) $object;
var_dump(empty($tmp));

The reason is, that an object is an object and there is no useful definition of "an empty object", because there are enough classes out there, that only contains methods, but no properties. Should they considered as "empty"?

Answer 2

Check if count( (array)$yourObject) ) == 0.

But I'd better define my own class, and provide it with a meaningful isEmpty() method.
