IsFalse

Validates that a value is false. Specifically, this checks to see if the value is exactly false, exactly the integer 0, or exactly the string “0”.

Also see IsTrue.

Applies to property or method

Basic Usage

The IsFalse constraint can be applied to a property or a “getter” method, but is most commonly useful in the latter case. For example, suppose that you want to guarantee that some state property is not in a dynamic invalidStates array. First, you’d create a “getter” method:

protected $state;

protected $invalidStates = array();

public function isStateInvalid()
{
    return in_array($this->state, $this->invalidStates);
}

In this case, the underlying object is only valid if the isStateInvalid method returns false:
