Help with if query

[datoshway]

Below is my code, not working, seems to be displaying both even if boolType=1

 <?php
if ($boolType == 1) {
    echo 'Go';
}
else {
    echo 'Fail';
}
?>

What does var_dump($boolType); show?

I would guess by the name $boolType is a boolean (true / false)

 

Therefore $boolType does not equal 1, its true

 

if($boolType == true){
echo 'True';
}else{
echo 'its false';
}

// ANOTHER OPTION, the same as above
// The default of below is to check if something is true
if($boolType){
echo 'True';
}else{
echo 'false';
}
