Why boolean parameters with the 'false' value, not received in request?

Hi,

Assume I received two parameter with bool1 and bool2 that are boolean and bool1 has been initialized with true and bool2 with false

Now this is my log:

Array
(
    [bool1] => 1
    [bool2] => 
)

bool2 not initialized with any value, but why?

<?php

echo true;
echo false;

When you open this in browser, the output will be

Which has been discussed many times here and it's basic HTML.

You yourself have to set up the logic to determine if nothing was passed.

<input type="hidden" name="something" value="0" />
<input type="checkbox" name="something" value="1" />

when checked it overrides the hidden value.

or just

<input type="checkbox" name="something" value="1" />

and

$value = (int)$request->has('something');

$value will be 1 if the checkbox was checked, or 0 if it wasn't.
