note 93051 deleted from function.is-bool by cmb

Note Submitter: moty66 at gmail dot com ---- Here is the function which I use when pasring boolean variables from config files <?php function boolVal($var) { switch ($var) { case $var == true: case $var == 1: // case $var == '1': // no need for this, because we used // $val == 1 not $var === 1 case strtolower($var) == 'true': case strtolower($var) == 'on': case strtolower($var) == 'yes': case strtolower($var) == 'y': $out = 1; break; default: $out = 0; } return $out; } ?> I am woundering why php does not have a function to do this Motaz Abuthiab
