How to find if an object is empty or not in PHP.

Following is the code in which $obj is holding XML data. How can I check if it\'s empty or not?

Answer 1

I was using a json_decode of a string in post request. None of the above worked for me, in the end I used this:

$post_vals = json_decode($_POST['stuff']);

if(json_encode($post_vals->object) != '{}')
{
    // its not empty
}
