This function can be used to test if all values in an array of booleans are TRUE.
Consider:
<?php
function outbool($test)
{
return (bool) $test;
}
$check[] = outbool(TRUE);
$check[] = outbool(1);
$check[] = outbool(FALSE);
$check[] = outbool(0);
$result = (bool) array_product($check);
// $result is set to FALSE because only two of the four values evaluated to TRUE
?>
The above is equivalent to:
<?php
$check1 = outbool(TRUE);
$check2 = outbool(1);
$check3 = outbool(FALSE);
$check4 = outbool(0);
$result = ($check1 && $check2 && $check3 && $check4);
?>
This use of array_product is especially useful when testing an indefinite number of booleans and is
easy to construct in a loop.
