Hi people,

 

I recently has a simple if statement like below:

 

if(!is_null($var){
       //some code
}

 

and it was not working. So I changed it to:

 

if($var != null){
       //some code
}

 

After that it worked just as expected; am I missing something. I am a little confused.

Is not going to work because you missed a parenthesis.

 

if($var != null){
       //some code
}

 

Is not working because you have to assert type as well by adding an extra equal sign: !==
