> According to PSR, […]

PSR is irrelevant for the code examples in the PHP manual, since
these are supposed to follow the PEAR CS[1]; however, PEAR CS also
mandates that true, false and null must always be lowercase[2].

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/language.types.boolean
---

According to PSR, boolean values should be written lowercase, eg.

$foo = false; 

and not 

$foo = FLASE;

Right now in many places in docs uppercase values are used, which confuses new users.
