Question

I am trying to log some data for a bug fix of a project. I have a boolean which i need to write to a text file but for some reason the boolean is never printed below is the code that calls the function to write the log.

writeLog("Index: $index Create Table Headers: ". $myBoolean);

And below is the code of the function that actually writes to the file

function writeLog($message)
{
    $file = "log.txt";
    $fh = fopen($file, 'a') or die("Can't open file");
    $content = $message . "\r\n";
    fwrite($fh, $content);
    fclose($fh);
}

When the file is written All I am getting is

Index: 0 Create Table Headers:

I have tried using var_export($myBoolean) but didn’t make any difference

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Try

writeLog("Index: $index Create Table Headers: ". ($myBoolean ? 'true' : 'false'));

See PHP Documentation for the “?” ternary operator
