(PHP 5.5.0)
Get the boolean value of a variable
Parameters
| Parameter | Data type | Default value | Note |

mixed |
not | the scalar value being converted to a boolean. |

Return values
- boolean The boolean value of var.
- int The integer value of var on success, or 0 on failure. Empty arrays and objects return 0, non-empty arrays and objects return 1.
The maximum value depends on the system. 32 bit systems have a maximum signed integer range of -2147483648 to 2147483647. So for example on such a system, intval('10000000000000000') will return 2147483647. The maximum signed integer value for 64 bit systems is 9223372036854775807.
Strings will most likely return 0 although this depends on the leftmost characters of the string. The common rules of integer casting apply.
