Weird PHP variable behaviour

I seem to remember that the 2nd echo used to output 0 as expected. This changed recently but I'm not sure exactly why. Perhaps it was when we upgraded to PHP5? Is there something I can set in php.ini so that I'll get the correct output again? This problem is breaking a bunch of vB code and old custom scripts so I'd like to return PHP to it's former behaviour as quick as possible.

Thanks.

False has always echoed an empty string for me.

A boolean TRUE value is converted to the string "1", the FALSE value is represented as "" (empty string). This way you can convert back and forth between boolean and string values.
