NYCPHP Meetup

Meh... me and lazyness. Actually I've been working on my first big
project with PHP and I'm still caught up in the functions I'm writing.

For anyone who is interested, I tested the following code:
 function returnfalse()
  {
   return false;
  }
 function returntrue()
  {
   return true;
  }

  $i = returntrue();

  if ($i['private'])
    {
     echo ("<p>As true statement returns true.</p>");
    }
   else
    {
     echo ("<p>As true statement returns false.</p>");
    }

  if ($i)
    {
     echo ("<p>As true statement returns true.</p>");
    }
   else
    {
     echo ("<p>As true statement returns false.</p>");
    }

  $i = returnfalse();

  if ($i['private'])
    {
     echo ("<p>Statment returned as true.</p>");
    }
   else
    {
     echo ("<p>Statment returned as false.</p>");
    }

  if ($i)
    {
     echo ("<p>Statement returned as true.</p>");
    }
   else
    {
     echo ("<p>Statement returned as false.</p>");
    }

The script returned (as expected):
As true statement returns false.

As true statement returns true.

Statment returned as false.

Statement returned as false.
