Please add empty() native..

this function checks if a string is empty(like in PHP)

[Greenberet]

stock bool:empty( str[] )
{
        return str[0] ? false : true;
}

you just have to check if the first character is 0, then it is empty

not always, especially when dealing with NULL terminated strings returned in a socket request. not even equal(str,"") would pick that up correctly though, not sure that anything would. When querying servers using sockets you get stuff back like this.

kingpin hosted server\0de_dust\0cstrike

\0 == null == false

So a string could start out with \0 and still have content after it, but it is not very likely.

strings are null terminated
your version is just a line of bytes...

I know what I'm talking about, that was just an example. But it is rare to encounter such a string.

Greenberet is correct, such a native (even as a stock) is redundant/inefficient.

Just check if the first cell is 0.
