Laravel Check if Array is empty

Question

I am struggling with displaying some content depending on if an array property does have a value or not. If an article has a title, I want to display the content of the entire article, if not I want to show something else. However, it doesn't work. The code in the else statement is not executed.

What's wrong here?

My Code is:

@foreach($restaurantmenue as $daily)
                    @foreach($daily->articles as $menue)
                     @if(!empty($menue->title))
                       <div class="card card-horizontal">
                         <div class="row">
                           <div class="col-md-5">
                             <div class="image" style="background-image: url({{asset('images/frontend/profile/profileHero.jpg')}}); background-size: cover; background-position: center center;">
                               <img src="{{asset('images/frontend/profile/profileHero.jpg')}}" alt="..." style="display: none;">
                               <div class="filter filter-azure">
                                 <button type="button" class="btn btn-neutral btn-round">
                                     <i class="fa fa-heart"></i> SMÄCKT MIR

                             </div>
                           </div>
                           <div class="col-md-7">
                                <div class="content">

put a print_r($menue) by replacing the line @if(!empty($menue->title)) and check the content. — Mayank Pandeyz

This is the output: App\Article Object ( [fillable:protected] => Array ( [0] => title [1] => body [2] => price [3] => facebook_page_id [4] ... — Mamulasa

with isset there is the same relust as with !empty. Can somebody explain why the obove is not working? Is it really that difficult ? — Mamulasa

We don't know what are you storing in $menue, instead of print_r($menue) try print_r($menue->title) and tell us the content. — Lee

If you are getting data using ORM in laravel like

$data = \App\Model::get();

then you can check whether the $data is empty or not as following :

@if(!$data->isEmpty())
     // $data is not empty
@else
    // $data is empty
@endif

Reference : Check Here

But if you use find or findOrFail, then you can check array as

$data = \App\Model::findOrFail($id);


@if(!empty($data))
     // $data is not empty
@else
    // $data is empty
@endif

I am using //Show Daily Dishes for current Profile $restaurantmenue = User::where('id', $id)->with(['articles' => function ($q){ $q->nowpublished(); }])->get();

You can use $restaurantmenue->isEmpty() to check whether array is empty or not

The code on the else statement is still not executed.

Jorge Peña Over a year ago

It's only executed if the data is empty. The logic is correct, maybe there's something else we are not seeing in your code?

Hope this might help you.

$processes = [1, 2, 4, 5];
$maintenance = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

$array_value = function ($value, $array) {
    $str = "$value";
    if (in_array($str, $array)) {
        echo 5;
    } else {
        echo 1;
    }
};

foreach ($maintenance as $m) {
    $array_value ($m, $processes);
}

Basically I'm comparing two arrays and display 5 if data found on the other array

Well, the code is executed if the article is not empty. But The code in the else statement is still not executed. I still can't display the "no article" message it there are no articles available

  @if(!$restaurantmenue->isEmpty())
                    @foreach($restaurantmenue as $daily)
                        @foreach($daily->articles as $menue)

                           <div class="card card-horizontal">
                             <div class="row">
                               <div class="col-md-5">
