passing true to function changes it to a 1

[deuce868]

I have a function where the content is main or not so I have a field in the db that is a set with the possible values true or false.

When I call the function and pass the value "true" it is converting it to a 1 and then my query fails because I use WHERE main LIKE "$main" and it should be "true" instead it is turning out WHERE main LIKE "1"

Is this just something I should not do and I should be going about this a different way? Is there a way to force it not to change it like this?

Thanks

I'm not exactly sure what problem is going on here. Can you post some of the code?

I got it fixed. I had to change some of the code around to quote the value of a var to prevent it being converted to 1 and I had a variable scope problem with the function.
