Hi,
$PHONETIC is an array of strings. How can !$PHONETIC['d'], in the case
below, evalutae to true. It is a string not a boolean. It would make more
sense if it evalutated to null.
Thanks Mike
<?php
$PHONETIC = array('a' => 'alpha', 'b' => 'bravo', 'c' => 'charlie');
if(!$PHONETIC['d']):
echo 'true';
else:
echo 'false';
endif
?>

Actually, I think it does. Try:
echo @gettype($PHONE TIC['d']);
And when you use NULL in a boolean expression, it evaluates to false

I know it does, my question is why does it. It seems like an abuse of the
syntax but according to the link below it is not at least in the named
cases.
The following link states a number of cases for boolean conversion. It does
state that an array with zero elements will be converted to FALSE but not
the case above where an array element is not set. Maybe I am reading too
much into it... http://us2.php.net/manual/en/languag...oolean.casting

Why would it be a string? It is un undefined variable (undefined array
indexs to be precise). If you call it with a boolean operator, bolean is
assumed, just as well false is assumed since it had no value before. !false
evaluates true quite logically.
$PHONETIC is not an array of strings by no definition. Sure, it contains
three variables that happen to be strings, but that still doesn't meka any
difference. It is simply an array that can hold any kinds of variable types.
There are other tests, that you might find useful. isset() tells you wether
a variable (or array reference) is defined or not. gettype() tells yuo what
is the type of the given variable.

Well, it clearly states:
When converting to boolean, the following values are considered FALSE:
* the special type NULL (including unset variables)

I have to keep reminding myself that php is not typed explicitly but rather
by context. (I think you can set a type though.) I am so used to working
with strongly typed languages. Thanks for your input.

Hello! I need create a server control and dynamicly
determine that control on the form. In JavaScript exist
function eval() which allows to evaluate a control on the
form. For example eval('document.myform'. +
inputcontrol.name + '.checked=true') find out which control
was send as a input parameter.
I know vb.net would not allows control array. Do we have
something that looks like eval() in JavaScript.
Thank you.

Hi,
I have a loop running on Page_PreRender that sets a number of controls
to invisible based on a set of criteria. Before I do this however, I set all
of the drop down lists to be visible with a straightforward recursive loop.
Now - I'm really muddled by this - why does this:
If TypeOf Ctl Is DropDownList Then
Ctl.Visible = true
End If
