If empty text is encrypted, the gnupg_decrypt() function will return a boolean FALSE so if you do a strict comparison (===, !==) to track a failure it will trigger you a failure.
For failures use Exceptions:
<?php
$gpg = new gnupg();
$gpg->seterrormode(gnupg::ERROR_EXCEPTION);
/*
.......further code.......
*/
try {
$string = $gpg->decrypt($stringToDecrypt);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// do the Error processing
}
?>

In regards to Mike's comments around passphrases not working correctly in v2, that's not entirely correct. If you want a PHP file to run without having to manually enter in your PGP passphrase you have to follow the steps outlined @ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Unattended_passphrase
Hope it helps.

As of gnupg version 2, it is not possible to pass a plain password any more. The parameter is simply ignored. Instead, a pinentry application will be launched in case of php running in cli mode. In cgi or apache mode, opening the key will fail.
The simplest solution is to use keys without passwords.

An update in regards to comments from 'yougot' and 'Mike'.
I have just submitted a pull request that should fix the 'passphrase' issue where the internal callback wasn't being called thereby triggering pinentry.
The pull request is at: https://github.com/php-gnupg/php-gnupg/pull/15
This fix will also work for the current 1.4.0 release: https://github.com/TerraTech/php-gnupg/tree/fix_adddecryptkey_passphrase-1.4.0
Hope that helps.
