Bug #70132 [Opn->Csd]: bit(1) always seen as true

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70132&edit=1 ID: 70132 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: stanimir at datacentrix dot org Summary: bit(1) always seen as true -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: PDO MySQL Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.6.11 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Indeed, casting a string with a NUL byte to bool is supposed to return true. No issue here. Anyhow, it appears this issue has been fixed in the meantime. With emulated prepares, I get string(1) "0" and string(1) "1", respectively, and without emulated prepares I get int(0)/int(1). So casting to bool yields the desired result.
