note 116477 added to function.boolval

To anyone like me who came here looking for a way to turn any value into a 0/1 that will fit into a MySQL boolean (tinyint) field: <?php $tinyint = (int) filter_var($valToCheck, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); ?> tinyint will be 0 (zero) for values like string "false", boolean false, int 0 tinyint will be 1 for values like string "true", boolean true, int 1 Useful if you are accepting data that might be from a language like Javascript that sends string "false" for a boolean false. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 68.47.202.161 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.boolval.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116477 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116477/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116477/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116477/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116477/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116477/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116477/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116477 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116477 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
