if and else statement in laravel 4

Question

I wanted my boolean to result in "true" or "false" instead of 1 and 0. So i tried using if and else statements to get results that I want to reflect in my User Interface. However, I still encountered some errors and I don't know where I made a mistake.

This is my code in the View folder

@extends('layouts.default')
@section('body')

<div class="well">
            <table class="table">


                <thead>
                    <th>Student ID</th>
                    <th>lastname</th>
                    <th>firstname</th>
                    <th>middlename</th>
                    <th>hscard</th>
                    <th>tor</th>
                    <th>dismissal</th>
                    <th>goodmoral</th>
                    <th>birth certificate</th>
                    <th>form 137</th>
                    <th>grade evaluation</th>

                </thead>
                @foreach ($results as $result)

                <tr>

                    <td>{{$result->studentid}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->lastname}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->firstname}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->middlename}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->hscard}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->tor}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->dismissal }}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->goodmoral}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->bcrtfcate}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->form137}}</td>
                    <td>{{$result->grade_evaluation}}
                    </td>
                </tr>
                @endforeach
            </table>

        </div>
@stop

I tried adding this at if and else statement, and I still encountered some errors:

<td>{{$result->grade_evaluation}}
     @if($result==1)
     true
     @else
     false
</td>

This is probably a Laravel issue, it is a PHP issue.

If the $result variable has a value, it will return the value. If it doesn't, it will return 0.

If you want to test if the $result variable has a value or not, you better use the isset() function and try something like

@if(isset($result))
     true
@else
     false
@endif

The code above should work as you expect.
