Note Submitter: adama at NO-UBE dot augustinefam dot org ---- Just a correction to the 29-Apr-2003 10:49 posting. The first section of the comment, where $myBool = true ; print( $myBool ) ; is indistinguishable from print( "" ) ; likewise, $myBool = false ; print( $myBool ) ; is indistinguishable from print( 1 ) ; is backwards. It should actually be $myBool = true ; print( $myBool ) ; is indistinguishable from print( 1 ) ; //corrected likewise, $myBool = false ; print( $myBool ) ; is indistinguishable from print( "" ) ; //corrected The posting makes a good point, though. Don't expect the contents of a string to mean something special. As the documentation states, any non-empty string is true, including "false" since it is simply a non-empty string.
