title: Can boolean be sent via HTTP POST at all?
body: <p>I'm building a simple API in PHP, one of the body parameters must be a boolean (as per documentation), <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>. I'm using Postman to test, and it seems like I can't do it. Whenever I post <code>true</code> or <code>false</code> it is seeing it as strings. 0 or 1 does not work neither. What I am doing currently for this to work is something like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>if($_POST['authenticate'] == 'true') {
              $_POST['authenticate'] = true;
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this seems not right. Please point me in the right direction as I am not even sure now if it is possible to POST a boolean.</p>
