# RiskyTruthyFalsyComparison
Emitted when comparing a value with multiple types that can both contain truthy and falsy values.
```php
<?php
/**
* @param array|null $arg
* @return void
*/
function foo($arg) {
if ($arg) {
// this is risky, bc the empty array and null case are handled together
}
if (!$arg) {
// this is risky, bc the empty array and null case are handled together
}
}
```
## Why this is bad
The truthy/falsy type of one variable is often forgotten and not handled explicitly causing hard to track down errors.
## How to fix
Explicitly validate the variable with strict comparison.
