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.

function is_true($val, $return_null=false){
$boolval = ( is_string($val) ? filter_var($val, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN, FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE) : (bool) $val );
return ( $boolval===null && !$return_null ? false : $boolval );
}

// Return Values:

is_true(new stdClass); // true
is_true([1,2]); // true
is_true([1]); // true
is_true([0]); // true
is_true(42); // true
is_true(-42); // true
is_true('true'); // true
is_true('on') // true
is_true('off') // false
is_true('yes') // true
is_true('no') // false
is_true('ja') // false
is_true('nein') // false
is_true('1'); // true
is_true(NULL); // false
is_true(0); // false
is_true('false'); // false
is_true('string'); // false
is_true('0.0'); // false
is_true('4.2'); // false
is_true('0'); // false
is_true(''); // false
is_true([]); // false

I believe that the double negation !! can perform the same task with the same result if your PHP is not up2date

var_dump(!!1, !!0, !!"test", !!"");

outputs:
boolean true

boolean false

boolean true

boolean false

May the life be good to you.

A misspell in v2.0.
:-)

Hack v2.1

<?php

if( ! function_exists('boolval'))
{
/**
* Get the boolean value of a variable
*
* @param mixed The scalar value being converted to a boolean.
* @return boolean The boolean value of var.
*/
function boolval($var)
{
return !!
$var;
}
}

?>
