Note Submitter: 777s7s777 at gmail dot com ---- I've found that, at least in the PHP version I'm using, setting a variable to true (i.e. "$var = true;"), then passing it to a function (i.e. "Test($var);"), will cause the passed variable within that method to be considered null/nully (i.e. "if ($var != null)" returns false), even if from within the calling function it is not considered null/nully. (i.e. "if ($var != null)" returns true) In other words, passing a true boolean variable to a function will turn it into a null/nully value, within the function. To me this seems extremely odd, and backwards, behavior. If a variable is "!= null" in the caller function, it should be "!= null" in the called function. (Note: My PHP version is 5.4.3)
