isbool php,PHP is_bool 用法 手册 | 示例代码

The function Michael Smith published doesn't do the work as it should.

To check if a variable is boolean is one thing, to evaluate if the value of a variable represents a boolean condition (true or false) is another.

Here a simple function that checks the status of the received variable in regards to boolean equivalencies (case insensitive).

* Check "Booleanic" Conditions :)

*

* @param  [mixed]  $variable  Can be anything (string, bol, integer, etc.)

* @return [boolean]           Returns TRUE  for "1", "true", "on" and "yes"

*                             Returns FALSE for "0", "false", "off" and "no"

*                             Returns NULL otherwise.

*/functionis_enabled($variable)

{

if (!isset($variable)) returnnull;

returnfilter_var($variable,FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN,FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE);

}?>

Of course, it is a simplistic approach, but for the majority of cases it will do the job right.

And, just to put thing in the right perspective, here's a real function that does what Phill disclosed:

* Convert $variable to boolean (adapted from Phill answer)

*

* @param  [mixed]  $variable  Can be anything

* @return [boolean]           Returns the booelan equivalent to $variable based on Zend Enegine interpretation

*/functionto_bool($variable)

{

return (bool)$variable;

}?>

I hope it helps someone. Happy coding.
