How can check variables is null or empty with one function in laravel 8?

I want to check if there is a function in laravel 8 like IsNullOrEmpty for C# to check for empty and null value using just one function.

you can use empty() PHP function. The empty() function checks whether a variable is empty or not.

This function returns false if the variable exists and is not empty, otherwise it returns true.

The following values evaluates to empty:

1. 0
2. 0.0
3. "0"
4. ""
5. FALSE
6. array()
7. NULL
