Hey!

I'd like to cast a string "false" to a boolean.
So I tried the following:

<?php
$var = (bool)"false";
var_dump ($var);
?>
Here var_dump gives me:
bool(true)

I also tried using settype:

<?php
$var = "false";
settype ($var, "bool");
var_dump ($var);
?>

The same result here:
bool(true);

So is there a way to cast such a string to a boolean (without using conditions)?

Cheers,
Jay
