Yes, you can return false. As for "true booleans", PHP doesn't really have a boolean type - it does have a sense of "true" and "not true" though. You can return false (a case-insensitive constant with the value 0) or true (whose value is probably 1 but could really be anything other than 0 or the empty string). You can of course evaluate a true/false value as a regular condition... if (someFunc()) { // do something if someFunc returns true } else { // do something if someFunc returns false } ..You get the idea. --toby Jonathan Sharp wrote: > > How does php handle true and false?
