<?php
if (!empty($user->about)) {
echo CHtml::encode($user->about);
}
?>
What I expected:
The above is some code that I had in my view. What I expect it to do is display the user's info if there is any.
What happened:
the empty($user->about) always returns true, whether there is data in there or not.
I think the reason for this is that Yii uses the magic functions __set and __get.
A solution (I think):
implant the magic function __isset() also
