note 61059 added to function.echo

Why this code doesn't display anything? <?php $test = false; echo ("$test"); ?> while <?php $test = true; echo ("$test"); ?> displays "1"? How can I display something that is false? ---- Server IP: 193.226.19.70 Probable Submitter: 82.76.165.45 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61059 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61059&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61059&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61059&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61059&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61059&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61059&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61059&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61059&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
