Bug #13859 Updated: Change (string)false from "" to "0"

ID: 13859 Updated by: jeroen Reported By: perry@globalnet.co.uk Old Summary: Inconsistent display of logical results Old Status: Open Status: Closed Old Bug Type: Performance problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Windows95 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Reclassified and updated summary. But it's not going to happen, therefore closed. There are numerous reasons for todays behaviour. use var_dump anyway if you are interested in the value of an expression, and/or if() or something alike if you want to use the truth value of a variable.

The problem is that 0 is never displayed normally, but if you use boolean logic, then it is possible for 0 to be displayed. I prefer the 0 being displayed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13859&edit=1
