Hello: I've just started learning OOPHP, and I love it!!! However, I've come across a strange issue. I'm trying to return a boolean value from my ternary statement. It will not return the boolean. I can return a string literal, an integer, anything else you can think of, but not a boolean. I'm curious if someone could explain why. Here's the code: // delete the row required $sql = "DELETE FROM $table WHERE id = $id"; if($conn -> query($sql)) { try { $num = ($conn -> affected_rows > 0) ? true : false; return $num; } catch (Exception $e) { echo '<br>Caught exception: ', $e -> getMessage(), '<br>'; } } else { return false; } Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.
