function stringToBool($string){
    return ( mb_strtoupper( trim( $string)) === mb_strtoupper ("true")) ? TRUE : FALSE;
}

or

function stringToBool($string) {
    return filter_var($string, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN);
}

字符串“false”实际上被PHP视为“TRUE”值。 文件说:

To explicitly convert a value to boolean, use the (bool) or (boolean) casts. However, in most cases the cast is unnecessary, since a value will be automatically converted if an operator, function or control structure requires a boolean argument. See also Type Juggling. When converting to boolean, the following values are considered FALSE: the boolean FALSE itself the integer 0 (zero) the float 0.0 (zero) the empty string, and the string "0" an array with zero elements an object with zero member variables (PHP 4 only) the special type NULL (including unset variables) SimpleXML objects created from empty tags Every other value is considered TRUE (including any resource).

所以如果你这样做:

$bool = (boolean)"False";

or

$test = "false";
$bool = settype($test, 'boolean');

在这两种情况下，$bool将为TRUE。所以你必须手动操作，就像GordonM建议的那样。

一种简单的方法是检查您认为为真值的数组。

$wannabebool = "false";
$isTrue = ["true",1,"yes","ok","wahr"];
$bool = in_array(strtolower($wannabebool),$isTrue);

filter_var($string, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN, FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE);

$string = 1; // true
$string ='1'; // true
$string = 'true'; // true
$string = 'trUe'; // true
$string = 'TRUE'; // true
$string = 0; // false
$string = '0'; // false
$string = 'false'; // false
$string = 'False'; // false
$string = 'FALSE'; // false
$string = 'sgffgfdg'; // null

您必须指定FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE，否则即使$string包含其他内容，您也将始终得到false。

你也可以使用settype方法!

$string = 'false';
$boolean = settype($string,"boolean");
var_dump($boolean); //see 0 or 1

(boolean)json_decode(strtolower($string))

它处理$string的所有可能变体

'true'  => true
'True'  => true
'1'     => true
'false' => false
'False' => false
'0'     => false
'foo'   => false
''      => false
