IMO, because it's not obvious whether it is *all* empty, or *atleast one* empty. The same argument we had before, when we expanded isset() to be variadic. We had the same discussion then, resulting on keeping empty() as it is. One discussion 11 years ago: http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=109836951711930 I can't find the discussion prior to that though. cheers, Derick
