PHP Laravel Check if Array is empty

I am struggling with displaying some content depending on if an array does have a value or not.Every time the code in the else part is executed. What's wrong here? Is there any syntax error with this code? I'm using php laravel.

foreach($now as $v)
{
        $arry[$c++]=$v->Code; 
}
if($arry==null){
     Do Something
}
else{
     Do Something else
}

 if(!$users->isEmpty()){
        return response()->json(['status' => 1, 'data' => $users]);
    }else{
        return response()->json(['status' => 0, 'msg' => 'no employees found']);
    }

if ( sizeof($arry) ) { // If more than 0
   // Do Something
} else { // If 0
   // Do Something else
}

You can use empty() or count() or sizeof() as below : 

$a = [];
if(empty($a)) {
    echo 'empty' . PHP_EOL;
} else {
    echo '!empty' . PHP_EOL;
}
if(count($a) == 0) {
    echo 'empty' . PHP_EOL;
} else {
    echo '!empty' . PHP_EOL;
}
if(sizeof($a) == 0) {
    echo 'empty' . PHP_EOL;
} else {
    echo '!empty' . PHP_EOL;
}

echo empty($a) . PHP_EOL; // 1
echo count($a) . PHP_EOL; // 0
echo sizeof($a) . PHP_EOL; // 0

Output : 
empty
empty
empty
1
0
0

Better to do if (!empty($arry)) {}

P.S. yes if (!$arry) do the same, but every person which is not familiar with php or even have little understanding of programming, should understand the code. Whats mean "not array", but if it will be "not empty array" is more clear. It is very straight forward.

this is not related to Laravel framework

if (count($arry) > 0) 
   Do Something
else
   Do Something else

Always check array before iterate in foreach and check with count function to check its value

if(isset($now) && count($now)>0){
    foreach($now as $v) {
            $arry[$c++]=$v->Code; 
    }
}
if(count($arry)>0){
     Do Something
}
else{
     Do Something else
}

if($arry) {
     echo 'The array is not empty';
}
else {
     echo 'The array is empty';
}
