你也可以使用settype方法!

$string = 'false';
$boolean = settype($string,"boolean");
var_dump($boolean); //see 0 or 1

这个方法是由@lauthiamkok在评论中发布的。我把它贴在这里作为一个答案，以引起更多的关注。

根据需要，您应该考虑使用带有FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN标志的filter_var()。

filter_var(    true, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // true
filter_var(    'true', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // true
filter_var(         1, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // true
filter_var(       '1', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // true
filter_var(      'on', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // true
filter_var(     'yes', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // true

filter_var(   false, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false
filter_var(   'false', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false
filter_var(         0, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false
filter_var(       '0', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false
filter_var(     'off', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false
filter_var(      'no', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false
filter_var('asdfasdf', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false
filter_var(        '', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false
filter_var(      null, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); // false

字符串“false”实际上被PHP视为“TRUE”值。 文件说:

To explicitly convert a value to boolean, use the (bool) or (boolean) casts. However, in most cases the cast is unnecessary, since a value will be automatically converted if an operator, function or control structure requires a boolean argument. See also Type Juggling. When converting to boolean, the following values are considered FALSE: the boolean FALSE itself the integer 0 (zero) the float 0.0 (zero) the empty string, and the string "0" an array with zero elements an object with zero member variables (PHP 4 only) the special type NULL (including unset variables) SimpleXML objects created from empty tags Every other value is considered TRUE (including any resource).

所以如果你这样做:

$bool = (boolean)"False";

or

$test = "false";
$bool = settype($test, 'boolean');

在这两种情况下，$bool将为TRUE。所以你必须手动操作，就像GordonM建议的那样。

我对wordpress shortcode属性感到困惑，我决定写一个自定义函数来处理所有可能性。也许对某些人有用:

function stringToBool($str){
    if($str === 'true' || $str === 'TRUE' || $str === 'True' || $str === 'on' || $str === 'On' || $str === 'ON'){
        $str = true;
    }else{
        $str = false;
    }
    return $str;
}
stringToBool($atts['onOrNot']);

filter_var($string, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN, FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE);

$string = 1; // true
$string ='1'; // true
$string = 'true'; // true
$string = 'trUe'; // true
$string = 'TRUE'; // true
$string = 0; // false
$string = '0'; // false
$string = 'false'; // false
$string = 'False'; // false
$string = 'FALSE'; // false
$string = 'sgffgfdg'; // null

您必须指定FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE，否则即使$string包含其他内容，您也将始终得到false。

你也可以使用settype方法!

$string = 'false';
$boolean = settype($string,"boolean");
var_dump($boolean); //see 0 or 1
