The constant FALSE (or false) will never evaluate as a TRUE condition.
if ($flag = true) // this assigns TRUE to $flag and then the
// value of $flag will be evaluated.
if (isset($flag)) // will evaluate as TRUE because $flag has a value
// assigned. It's not NULL.
// -- regardless of what the value is.
if ($flag) {
-- or (assuming $flag is initialized) --
if ($flag === TRUE) {
... so either would be the correct construct here.
