Description:
------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php
tells me that

"When querying boolean values: A boolean ini value of off will be
returned as an empty string while a boolean ini value of on will be
returned as "1"."

But
echo '['.ini_get('register_globals').']';

displays '[0]' not '[]'?

At least this is the behaviour I have with php-4.1.2 on debian woody.

     Balu
PS: It'd be nice to add the hint of "beyer at <nospam>clickhand dot de"
from the notes on that page regarding casting the value using (bool) to
the main description.
