phpnullisnull

Convert native null to string "null"

Is it possible to convert null to string with php?

For instance,

$string = null;

to 

$string = "null";
Solution

  • Am I missing something here?

    if ($string === null) {
    $string = 'null';
}

    was thinking something shorter...

    You can also use a ternary operator:

    $string = is_null($string) ? 'null' : $string;

    Your call.
