if not empty bloginfo('description')

Question

Can someone tell, how to check whether it's empty?

<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>

Something like:

<?php if (!empty bloginfo('description');) ?>

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

if ( get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) {
    //do something
}

bloginfo echoes the description, get_bloginfo returns php variable

Answer 2

Ptriek's example checks if the value is true and unfortunately an empty value still evaluates to true, hence why it doesn't work as expected. Try the following instead..

<?php if( !empty( get_bloginfo('description') ) : ?>

<!-- your html -->

<?php endif; ?>

NOTE: An empty check will also ring true for empty strings, so covers exactly the same case as the code you posted in the comment on ptriek's answer..
