Better way to check variable for null or empty string?

Here is the simple PHP function for testing given data is null or empty string.

function IsNullOrEmptyString($data){
    return (!isset($data) || trim($data)==='');
}

function IsNullOrEmptyString($data){

return (!isset($data) || trim($data)==='');

}
