PHP: 論理型 (boolean)

整数

Last updated: Fri, 02 Jan 2009

論理型 (boolean)

論理型は、最も簡単な型です。boolean は、真偽の値を表します。この値は、TRUE または FALSE のどちらかになります。

注意: 論理型は、PHP 4 で導入されました。

構文

boolean リテラルを指定するには、キーワード TRUE または FALSE を指定してください。両方とも大文字小文字に依存しません。


<?php
$foo = True; // 値TRUEを$fooに代入する
?>

通常、boolean 型の値を返す演算子を使用してから、制御構造にその結果を渡します。


<?php
// == は、boolean型を返す演算子
if ($action == "show_version") {
    echo "バージョンは1.23です。";
}

// これは冗長
if ($show_separators == TRUE) {
    echo "<hr>\n";
}

// 上の例は次のように簡単に書くことができます。
if ($show_separators) {
    echo "<hr>\n";
}
?>

boolean への変換

boolean に明示的に変換を行うには、キャスト (bool) または (boolean) を使用します。しかし、演算子、関数、制御構造が boolean 型の引数を必要とする場合には、値は自動的に変換されるため、多くの場合はキャストは不要です。

型の相互変換も参照ください。

boolean に変換する場合、次の値は FALSE とみなされます。

boolean の FALSE
integer の 0 (ゼロ)
float の 0.0 (ゼロ)
空の文字列、および文字列の "0"
要素の数がゼロである配列
メンバ変数の数がゼロであるオブジェクト (PHP 4のみ)
特別な値 NULL (値がセットされていない変数を含む)
空のタグから作成された SimpleXML オブジェクト

その他の値は全て TRUE とみなされます (全ての resourceを含みます)。

警告

-1 は、他のゼロでない数と同様に (正負によらず) TRUE とみなされます。


<?php
var_dump((bool) "");        // bool(false)
var_dump((bool) 1);         // bool(true)
var_dump((bool) -2);        // bool(true)
var_dump((bool) "foo");     // bool(true)
var_dump((bool) 2.3e5);     // bool(true)
var_dump((bool) array(12)); // bool(true)
var_dump((bool) array());   // bool(false)
var_dump((bool) "false");   // bool(true)
?>

Beware of certain control behavior with boolean and non boolean values :



<?php

// Consider that the 0 could by any parameters including itself

var_dump(0 == 1); // false

var_dump(0 == (bool)'all'); // false

var_dump(0 == 'all'); // TRUE, take care

var_dump(0 === 'all'); // false



// To avoid this behavior, you need to cast your parameter as string like that :

var_dump((string)0 == 'all'); // false

?>

CODING PRACTICE...



Much of the confusion about booleans (but not limited to booleans) is the fact that PHP itself automatically makes a type cast or conversion for you, which may NOT be what you want or expect. In most cases, it's better to provide functions that give your program the exact behavior you want.

<?php



function boolNumber($bValue = false) {                      // returns integer

  return ($bValue ? 1 : 0);

}



function boolString($bValue = false) {                      // returns string

  return ($bValue ? 'true' : 'false');

}



$a = true;                                                  // boolean value

echo 'boolean $a AS string = ' . boolString($a) . '<br>';   // boolean as a string

echo 'boolean $a AS number = ' . boolNumber($a) . '<br>';   // boolean as a number

echo '<br>';



$b = (45 > 90);                                             // boolean value

echo 'boolean $b AS string = ' . boolString($b) . '<br>';   // boolean as a string

echo 'boolean $b AS number = ' . boolNumber($b) . '<br>';   // boolean as a number

echo '<br>';



$c = boolNumber(10 > 8) + boolNumber(!(5 > 10));            // adding booleans

echo 'integer $c = ' . $c .'<br>';



?>

Results in the following being printed...



 boolean $a AS string = true

 boolean $a AS number = 1



 boolean $b AS string = false

 boolean $b AS number = 0



 integer $c = 2



In other words, if we know what we want out of our program, we can create functions to accommodate. Here, we just wanted 'manual control' over numbers and strings, so that PHP doesn't confuse us.

At http://www.blueshoes.org/en/developer/syntax_exam/, is available a test where you can try your knowledge about boolean expressions. Hope it helps!

It is correct that TRUE or FALSE should not be used as constants for the numbers 0 and 1. But there may be times when it might be helpful to see the value of the Boolean as a 1 or 0. Here's how to do it.



$var1 = TRUE;

$var2 = FALSE;



echo $var1; // Will display the number 1



echo $var2; //Will display nothing



To get it to display the number 0 for a false value you have to typecast it:



echo (int)$var2; //This will display the number 0 for false.

PHP does not break any rules with the values of true and false.  The value false is not a constant for the number 0, it is a boolean value that indicates false.  The value true is also not a constant for 1, it is a special boolean value that indicates true.  It just happens to cast to integer 1 when you print it or use it in an expression, but it's not the same as a constant for the integer value 1 and you shouldn't use it as one.  Notice what it says at the top of the page:



A boolean expresses a truth value.



It does not say "a boolean expresses a 0 or 1".



It's true that symbolic constants are specifically designed to always and only reference their constant value.  But booleans are not symbolic constants, they are values.  If you're trying to add 2 boolean values you might have other problems in your application.

Note that the symbolic constants TRUE and FALSE are treated differently.  I was told that this is a feature, not a bug.



echo false ;

echo (false) ;

echo false+false ;

echo (false+false) ;

echo intval(false) ;

echo '"'.false.'"' ;



echo true ;

echo (true) ;

echo true+true ;

echo (true+true) ;

echo intval(true) ;

echo '"'.true.'"' ;



should produce



00000"0"11221"1"



but instead produces



000""11221"1"



In other words, the only way to output the underlying zero or use it in a string is to use 'false+false' or pass it through intval().  No such tricks are required to get at the 1 that underlies true.



The whole idea of symbolic constants is that the underlying value *always* replaces them during translation, and thus anywhere you would otherwise have to use some obscure "magic number" such as 191, you can use a symbolic constant that makes sense, such as TOTAL_NATIONS.  



Exactly what php gets out of breaking this rule was not explained to me.

Note you can also use the '!' to convert a number to a boolean, as if it was an explicit (bool) cast then NOT.



So you can do something like:



<?php

$t = !0; // This will === true;

$f = !1; // This will === false;

?>



And non-integers are casted as if to bool, then NOT.



Example:



<?php

$a = !array();      // This will === true;

$a = !array('a');   // This will === false;

$s = !"";           // This will === true;

$s = !"hello";      // This will === false;

?>



To cast as if using a (bool) you can NOT the NOT with "!!" (double '!'), then you are casting to the correct (bool).



Example:



<?php

$a = !!array();   // This will === false; (as expected)

/* 

This can be a substitute for count($array) > 0 or !(empty($array)) to check to see if an array is empty or not  (you would use: !!$array).

*/



$status = (!!$array ? 'complete' : 'incomplete');



$s = !!"testing"; // This will === true; (as expected)

/* 

Note: normal casting rules apply so a !!"0" would evaluate to an === false

*/

?>

function is_odd($x) { return ($x & 1); //integer }

function is_even($x) { return (!($x & 1)); //integer }



if(is_even(10) === TRUE) 

  // NO



function is_odd($x) { return (bool) ($x & 1); //boolean }

function is_even($x) { return  (bool) (!($x & 1)); //boolean }



if(is_even(10) === TRUE) 

  // YES



$str = 'Hello World!';



if($str === TRUE)

<quote> The braces are of course optional </quote>



Nothing optional about the 'braces'  here.

'(  )' are parentheses. '{  }' are braces. But we get the point.



<?php

$num = 10;

$isEven = !($num % 2);

echo ($isEven) ? 'Even' : 'Odd';

//outputs : Even

$isEven = !$num % 2;

echo ($isEven) ? 'Even' : 'Odd';

//outputs : Odd (with ANY number != 0 !!)

?>



Operator precedence and implicit casts at work:

$num = 10;

!$num       => (implicit cast to bool) $num: (bool) 10 = true

!true       => negate true : false

false % 2   => (implicit cast to int) false : (int) false = 0

0 % 2       => remainder of 0 intdiv 2 : 0

$isEven = 0 => integer assignment : 0

($isEven) ? => (implicit cast to bool) 0 : (bool) 0 = false

echo (false) ? 'Even' : 'Odd' => condition false : 'Odd'



Wether or not PHP actually performs the (bool) casts under the hood is irrelevant to the outcome here.

Beware that "0.00" converts to boolean TRUE !



You may get such a string from your database, if you have columns of type DECIMAL or CURRENCY. In such cases you have to explicitly check if the value is != 0 or to explicitly convert the value to int also, not only to boolean.

Jasper probably meant:

$a = 2; 

$b = 3; 

$aBiggerThanB = $a > $b;

Re: comment from jasper at jtey dot com



It is better to not explicitly test for default values. PHP knows the default values, and so should any programmer worth her/his salt.



Same example rewritten:



<?php

$num = 10;

$isEven = !($num % 2);

?>



The braces are off course optional.

The following expressions are equivalent:


<?php


// setting true


$flag = true;


$flag = True;


$flag = TRUE;


$flag = 1==1;





// setting false


$flag = false;


$flag = False;


$flag = FALSE;


$flag = 1==2;


?>





The moral of the story is that boolean operators return a boolean value, i.e., "1==1" returns a boolean value of true.  Someone who is not aware of this may write a block of code such as:


<?php


// even number?


$num = 10;


if($num % 2 == 0){


  $isEven = true;


}


else{


  $isEven = false;


}


?>





when all that is needed is:


<?php


$num = 10;


$isEven = $num % 2 == 0;


?>





Other examples, for illustrative purposes:


<?php


// two numbers


$a = 2;


$b = 3;


$aBiggerThanB = 2 > 3; // $aBiggerThanB is set to false





// lower case vowel check (corrected)


$c = "u";


$isVowel = $c == "a"|| $c == "e"|| $c == "i"|| $c == "o"|| $c == "u";


?>
