It returns true only when the value is a string and not exactly ''.

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

is_non_empty_string('hello'); // true
is_non_empty_string('   ');   // true
is_non_empty_string('');      // false
is_non_empty_string(123);     // false

• true for whitespace-only strings
• false for all non-string values
