Checking global variable

[Gravestone]

I am trying to check a global variable but everytime it is returning false.

something1 = false
something2 = false
something3 = false
something4 = false
something5 = false

function checksomething(_, _, ...)
	local d = table.concat({...}, " ")
	if tostring(d) == true then
	outputChatBox("true")
	return true
	
	else
	outputChatBox("false")
	return false
	end
end
addCommandHandler("checks", checksomething)

But if I do it in this way:

something1 = false
something2 = false
something3 = false
something4 = false
something5 = false

function checksomething(_, _, ...)
	local d = table.concat({...}, " ")
	if something1 == true then
	outputChatBox("true")
	return true
	
	else
	outputChatBox("false")
	return false
	end
end
addCommandHandler("checks", checksomething)

then it will return true. Any ideas how to fix this?

if _G[tostring(d)] == true then

_G is the global table.

@Gravestone, _G predefined variable it returns a table of all global variables.
