Question

I am using the following:

cakephp 1.3

CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin 3.1.1 (branch cakephp 1.3)(webtechnick)

php 5.3.x

My problem is on line 146 of the following:

https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin/blob/cakephp1.3/controllers/components/connect.php

I have manually set createUser to false as both an argument to the component, and by altering the default value in the component itself (set line 50 to false). Yet if I do this on line 147:

print "authUser: ".empty($this->authUser)." createUser: ".$this->createUser;

i get "authUser: 1 createUser: false"

the problem is based on that output line 147 should not execute at all, what is going on here?

(1 && false) == false

no?

I almost punched my computer last night. Just thought you might want to know.

The real problem is that if this code executes it basically adds an anonymous user to my user table, bad juju.

Answer 1

so bottom line, var_dump() in php saves lives. Failure on my part, my false was accidentally a string thank you aptana auto quotes.
