It should be stated that this function returns true if the _type_ of it's argument is boolean. It does not convert or coerce the value to a boolean type, not sure why so many comments focus on how to do this. However, if you arrived here looking for a solution to convert a value to a boolean type, use this: to_bool($x) { return (bool)$x; } ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 82.199.157.35 (proxied: 107.1.251.186) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-bool.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123510 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123510/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123510/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123510/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123510/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123510/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123510/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123510 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123510 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
