It only appears to be nothing, if you issue:

php -r "echo false;"

Nothing happens.

if you issue:

php -r "var_dump(false);"

You'll get bool(false)


Btw, your condition is doing extra work. Consider the output of:

php -r "var_dump(0 && 1);"

Outputs: bool(false)

So your condition to return true or false isn't really needed, a
simple:

$this->m_arrQuesInfo[$this->m_itemID]['blnVacPromo'] =
( !empty($_POST['vac_promo']) && $_POST['vac_promo'] == 'on'; )

Will be exactly the same thing.


Also I would suggest changing empty() to isset(), so you would have

$this->m_arrQuesInfo[$this->m_itemID]['blnVacPromo'] =
( isset($_POST['vac_promo']) && $_POST['vac_promo'] == 'on'; )

empty() in this case doesn't really mean anything, the isset() will
prevent a E_NOTICE to happen.

HTH,

Curt.
