PHP“如果为真"对数组的测试总是返回 true?

2022-01-19 00:00:00 return arrays boolean php

我有一个验证函数,如果验证通过,我想返回 true,如果验证失败,我想返回一个错误数组.但是,当我检查函数是否返回 true 时,即使返回值是数组,它也会返回 true.为什么是这样?作为我的意思的另一个例子:

I have a validation function that I want to return true if the validation passes, or an array of errors if validation fails. However, when I check if the function returns true, it returns true even if the returned value is an array. Why is this? As a further example of what I mean:

$array = ['test' => 'test'];
if ($array == true)
  {
  echo 'true';
  }

我也尝试了同样的字符串:

and I also tried the same with a string:

$string = 'string';
if ($string == true)
  {
  echo 'true';
  }

两者都回显真实.

这是为什么?如果我们能做到这一点,那我们为什么需要 isset() 函数呢?

Why is this? And if we can do this then why do we need the isset() function?

推荐答案

这是手册中记录的预期行为 http://php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php

This is expected behavior as documented in the manual http://php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php

Expression             gettype()  empty()   is_null()   isset() boolean
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
$x = array();          array      TRUE      FALSE       TRUE    FALSE
$x = array('a', 'b');  array      FALSE     FALSE       TRUE    TRUE
$x = "";               string     TRUE      FALSE       TRUE    FALSE
$x = "php";            string     FALSE     FALSE       TRUE    TRUE

因此,空字符串或数组的计算结果为 false,非空字符串或数组的计算结果为 true.

So an empty string or array will evaluate to false and non empty strings or arrays will evaluate to true.

另一方面,isset() 将确定是否定义了一个变量,而不管它的实际值如何.唯一不同的值是 null.如果使用 isset() 测试,值为 null 的变量将返回 false.

On the other hand isset() will determine if a variable is defined regardless of it's actual value. The only value being somehow different is null. A variable with value null will return false if tested with isset().
