Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] Return Boolean from Java to PHP

Hi,

No! PHP automatically casts a primitive value into a boolean, if it is part of the boolean expression.  However, you cannot convert a PHP object into PHP value using a type cast. The only exception is the (string) type cast, which internally calls $res->__toString()[1]. 

Therefore the PHP/Java Bridge library contains two special procedures, one to fetch a PHP value from a Java object, the other one to cast a Java object into a PHP primitive type. Please see our documentation for details.

[1] PHP's behaviour is insane, of course. In order to convert the following PHP object into a value one needs two type casts:

class Clazz_ONE {
  function __toString() { return "1"; }
}
$one = new Clazz_ONE();
var_dump( (int) $one) 
=> ERROR

var_dump( (int)(string) $one)
=> 1
