Convert boolean to integer

I want to store in a MySql tinyint(1)field values that i have already converted from boolean with php's intval().

Example:

$data = true;
$foo = intval($data);
    if (is_numeric($foo)){
        print_r($foo);       
    }

The problem is that even if the $data is true and the $foo is numeric, intval always returns 0.

Update:

I have this jQuery code in order to take true/false if an html checkbox is checked.

var foo = $('#' + form + ' ' + '[name = "foo"]').is(':checked');

then i'm sending the variable foo to my controller: (The jQuery code works correctly)

$foo = Input::has('foo') ? Input::get('foo'): false;

$newFoo = New Foo();
$newFoo->foo=$foo;

Finally in my class:

  public $foo;
  print_r(intval($this->foo));

Because your $data is a string not boolean. You can cast it first and should work
