How to interpret common boolean value representations?

Sunday 16 December 2007 3:49:39 am

Hello,

Is there any universal function/method within eZ libraries for interpretation of different representations of boolean values? One that would take a value, for example: 'false', 'disabled', '0', false, 0... and simply return false, etc...

Easy to write, but I don't want to reinvent it. Also, maybe it's a wrong approach, since configuration params may be very context-dependent.

I'd be grateful for any hints!

Thanks,
Piotrek

Hey Kristof,

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't actually only thinking about detecting empty values, but those, too. If I ever get across what's in my mind, I'll let you know ;)

Meanwhile, quite an interesting thing about PHPOperatorList as well as Wrap operator, even though at this point of my work I don't see a need or will to move too much programming to the presentation/template layer. Still, I will give it a closer look.

Thanks for interesting tip!
