可以通过HTTP POST发送布尔值吗？

Question

I'm building a simple API in PHP, one of the body parameters must be a boolean (as per documentation), true or false. I'm using Postman to test, and it seems like I can't do it. Whenever I post true or false it is seeing it as strings. 0 or 1 does not work neither. What I am doing currently for this to work is something like this:

if($_POST['authenticate'] == 'true') {
            $_POST['authenticate'] = true;
        }

But this seems not right. Please point me in the right direction as I am not even sure now if it is possible to POST a boolean.

HTTP POST/GET variables will be converted into string associative arrays in PHP ($_POST $_GET). You will have to go through an explicit cast or re-assignment if you want to express the values as a different datatype.
