php boolean code example

Example 1: php convert string to boolean

/**
 * Strings always evaluate to boolean true unless they have a
 * value that's considered "empty" by PHP (taken from the
 * documentation for empty):
 * "" (an empty string) evaluates as false.
 * "0" (0 as a string) evaulates as false.
 * If you need to set a boolean based on the text value of a
 * string, then you'll need to check for the presence or
 * otherwise of that value.
 */
$boolean = $string === 'true' ? true: false;

Example 2: php convert to boolean

// (PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7)
// boolval — Get the boolean value of a variable
boolval ( mixed $var ) : bool
// Returns the boolean value of var.

Example 3: php boolean to string

$converted_res = $res ? 'true' : 'false';

Example 4: php is boolean

The is_bool() function checks whether a variable is a boolean or not. This function returns true (1) if the variable is a boolean, otherwise it returns false/nothing.

Example 5: php boolean

Booleans can be one of two constants:
true
false
These values are not case sensitive, therefore true is the same as TRUE

booleans are also often used in control structures, either directly or as
a result of an operation. For example:

if ($waterDrankToday > 3.7) {
 echo "Good work staying hydrated!";
 if ($havingABadDay)
   hug();
}
else
  echo "You should drink more water";
