Question

I have the following code, I seem to be having problems with booleans in php, when ever i dump out the value of bCreatedEvent it is just empty, what am i doing wrong and I’m using booleans wrong? It also fails my logic check so i can redirect at the bottom. I’m fairly new to php, but thought most of this should work similar to c/c++.

$dbTheatreCMS = new TheatreCMSDB();
                $iEventID = $dbTheatreCMS->InsertNewEvent($sTitle, $sCompany, $iCreateID, $sNotes, $sPrePrice, $sRegPrice);

                $bEventCreated = False;
                echo "bEventCreated1 = " . $bEventCreated . "<br/>";
                $bEventInfoInserted = True;
                $bEventRolesInserted = True;

                if ($iEventID > 0)
                {
                    $bEventCreated = true;
                    if (isset($_POST["Venues"], $_POST["EventDates"]))
                    {
                        $aiVenueIDs = $_POST["Venues"];
                        $adtEvents = $_POST["EventDates"];
                        if (count($adtEvents) == count($aiVenueIDs)) // These should be the same length
                        {
                            for ($i = 0; $i < count($adtEvents); $i++)
                            {
                                $bEventInfoInserted &= ($dbTheatreCMS->InsertNewEventInfo($iEventID, $aiVenueIDs[$i],$adtEvents[$i]) > 0) ? true :false;
                            }
                        }
                    }

                    if (isset($_POST["Troupers"], $_POST["Roles"]))
                    {
                        $trouperIDs = $_POST["Troupers"];
                        $roles = $_POST["Roles"];
                        if (count($trouperIDs) == count($roles))
                        {
                            for ($i = 0; $i < count($trouperIDs); $i++)
                            {
                                $bEventInfoInserted &=  ($dbTheatreCMS->InsertNewTroupeInfo($iEventID, $trouperIDs[$i],$roles[$i]) > 0)? true:false;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

                echo "bEventCreated = " . $bEventCreated . "<br/>";
                echo "bEventInfoInserted = " . $bEventInfoInserted . "<br/>";
                echo "bEventRolesInserted = " . $bEventRolesInserted . "<br/>";

                $bEventCreated = $bEventCreated & $bEventInfoInserted & $bEventRolesInserted;
                echo "$bEventCreated = " . $bEventCreated . "<br/>";

                if($bEventCreated == True)
                {
                    echo "<script type='text/javascript'>window.localStorage.href = 'some page.php';</script>";
                }

output

bEventCreated1 = 
bEventCreated = 
bEventInfoInserted = 1
bEventRolesInserted = 1
0 = 0

Answer 1

echo false will look empty use var_dump($bEventCreated)

Also & is a bitwise operator I think you mean &&

$bEventCreated = $bEventCreated & $bEventInfoInserted & $bEventRolesInserted;
