That was in place of your "false == empty" statement. Which, if you're
testing for false, always use ===. It's a good habit to have, because you
don't want to wonder why your script isn't working when something is
returning a 0.
For those who may not know why ===, that ensures that not only do the values
match, but the type matches also. 0 tests positive against false using ==,
but negative using === because 0 is an integer and false is boolean.
