Hi,

No! PHP automatically casts a primitive value into a boolean, if it is part of the boolean expression.  However, you cannot convert a PHP object into PHP value using a type cast. The only exception is the (string) type cast, which internally calls $res->__toString()[1]. 

Therefore the PHP/Java Bridge library contains two special procedures, one to fetch a PHP value from a Java object, the other one to cast a Java object into a PHP primitive type. Please see our documentation for details.

[1] PHP's behaviour is insane, of course. In order to convert the following PHP object into a value one needs two type casts:

class Clazz_ONE {
  function __toString() { return "1"; }
}
$one = new Clazz_ONE();
var_dump( (int) $one) 
=> ERROR

var_dump( (int)(string) $one)
=> 1

Thank you.  I will try this when I get a chance and let you know.  Since 
it is working, I have moved to another assignment, but when I get time I 
will try this.  I appreciate the information.  I wasn't aware of the 
difference between boolean and Boolean.

Of course, the error is in the method declaration, see:

*public Boolean isValidAccountNumber(String acctnum) { *


Java is performing an automatic typecasting from native boolean to object
java.lang.Boolean.


You must change your method declaration by (notice the native boolean):

*public boolean isValidAccountNumber(String acctnum) {*


Please test this change and give your feedback.

That was it.  Thanks so much Benjamin.

I believe the problem is that after the call, $res contains a Java Boolean 
object, not the boolean value of 0 or 1.  I am trying the java_values 
approach now.

That's so strange... in PHP the number 1 is like true, that also not works
for you?

Same thing.

I had a similar problem and I use java_values() to solve, try :

if( java_values($IDEAS->isValidAccountNumber($acctnum)) ){
...
}

Hope this Help,
Benjamin.

Just try:

// Notice the !
if(!$res){
   ...
}

>>Try:

>>$res = (bool) $IDEAS->isValidAccountNumber($acctnum) ;
>>if ($res === false) {

I tried 
$result = (bool)$IDEAS->isValidAccountNumber($acctnum);
echo "result = $result";

And got
result = 1 

This can't be correct because I set up the isValidAccountNumber function 
to always return false. 

I tried
$result = $IDEAS->isValidAccountNumber($acctnum);
echo "result = $result";

And got
result = [[o:Boolean]:"false"]

At least false is in there somewhere.  I guess the question I should be 
asking is how do I extract the value from the Boolean object returned by 
Java?

When I try
$resval = $result->value;
echo "resval = $resval";

It takes a dump
Error [[o:Exception]:"java.lang.Exception: GetProperty failed: 
[[o:Boolean]]->value. 
Cause: java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: value (with args:). 

If not value, then what?
