How to check for empty values within a array using PHP

If you have an array called $array with the below values
Array
(
    [0] => 1299016800
    [1] => 
    [2] => 
)
As we can see in the above example we have 2 empty values within the array, now how do we determine this using PHP
First we get the size of the array
$mainSize = sizeof($array);
Now we get the size of the array without the empty values
$emptySize =sizeof(array_filter($array));
Now we compare the 2 different sizes, if they are equal to each other, then it means that there aren’t empty values within the array, else there are empty values within the array
$mainSize = sizeof($array);
$emptySize =sizeof(array_filter($array));
 
if($mainSize == $emptySize){
              echo 'Array not empty';
}else{
              echo 'Array is empty';
}
