EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      boolval(3) examples

	      <?php
	      echo '0:	      '.(boolval(0) ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '42:       '.(boolval(42) ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '0.0:      '.(boolval(0.0) ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '4.2:      '.(boolval(4.2) ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '"":       '.(boolval("") ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '"string": '.(boolval("string") ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '"0":      '.(boolval("0") ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '"1":      '.(boolval("1") ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '[1, 2]:   '.(boolval([1, 2]) ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo '[]:       '.(boolval([]) ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      echo 'stdClass: '.(boolval(new stdClass) ? 'true' : 'false')."
";
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      0:	false
	      42:	true
	      0.0:	false
	      4.2:	true
	      "":	false
	      "string": true
	      "0":	false
	      "1":	true
	      [1, 2]:	true
	      []:	false
	      stdClass: true
