This is how I check to see if a bool constant is true: <?php function consttrue($const) { return !defined($const) ? false : constant($const); } ?> Examples <?php var_dump(consttrue('UNDEFINED_CONST')); define('SOME_CONST', true); var_dump(consttrue('SOME_CONST')); define('SOME_CONST2', false); var_dump(consttrue('SOME_CONST2')); ?> Returns bool(false) bool(true) bool(false) If it isn't defined it will return false, otherwise it will return the value of the constant... which would be either true/false depending on what you set it to. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 98.209.42.6 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.constant.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85609 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85609/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85609/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85609/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85609/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85609/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85609/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85609 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85609 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
