We looked at boolean values in the previous article. PHP has truthy booleans, which are values that are not true or false, but when evaluated inside an expression, they can act like they are.

If we passed 1 to the if statement, PHP would interpret the number 1 as truthy and would execute the statement inside the body.

There are other values that are considered truthy and falsy.

Even if we passed the string “false” to the if statement, it’s still considered truthy.
