send data as Boolean from jquery to php [duplicate]

Question

I am sending data from jquery to php using ajax but the problem is that whenever i send Boolean data through jquery php recieved it as a string. but i want Boolean data as Boolean not as a string

this is the code

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "updaterecord.php",
    data: { id:i, table:t, field:f, data: d },
    dataType: "json",
    success:function(s){
       alert("Saved Successfully ");
    },
    error:function(e){
       alert("Error ");
    }
});

now if i send true on php side i get true as a string not as a Boolean value.is there any way to send Boolean data as Boolean

POST or GET HTTP request will always send text. You have to parse it on the other side. — Su4p

I dont think jquery ajax has functionality to specify the data type of the data being passed to remote server script. you can just send true or false in ajax call and compare the string at server script side to check whether its true value or false — dreamweiver

you can check in php if($_POST['YOUR_VARIABLE']=="true"){ //write code for true}else{//write code for false} — Nanhe Kumar

Just send 1 or 0 (true or false) and don't bother with type casting.
