Is this seen as a strength or a weakness of PHP.?
In C(++), direct comparisons to true/false are discouraged.
In other words, instead of this:
bool x;
if(x==true) ...
if(x==false) ...
itt's always considered better to do this:
if(x) ...
if(!x) ...
But PHP seems to require a direct comparison with false
in certain situations. Are there any cases where you need
to do a direct comparison with true?
Are you coming to Ottawa in the future?
