#28950 [Opn->Csd]: Clearer (bool)"false" = true

ID: 28950 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: foxyshadis1 at dslextreme dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Win2000 PHP Version: 4.3.7 New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. There is an exact list of values converted to false with the note that everything else is converted to true. Although I added an example for this case.

We have a "Type Juggling" page at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-28 19:38:24] foxyshadis1 at dslextreme dot com Description: ------------ Docs should make explicit that (bool)"false" is true, not false - it's easy to miss while reading through the boolean section. (I was under the impression that if ints and strings could be coerced to each other, it made sense that bools and strings could be, but obviously not.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28950&edit=1
