I experience this bug on both MS windows and FreeBSD, on PHP 5.2.5 and PHP 5.2.6 and using Apache 2.0 / 1.3. Reproduce code: --------------- //Here is three ways of reproducing the same error. var_dump("test"==0); var_dump(("anotherTest"==0)); //... and finaly ... $bool=("abc"==0); var_dump($bool); Expected result: ---------------- I expect them all to return bool(false), I expect only "0"==0 to return true. Actual result: -------------- They all return bool(true), nomather what string i compare to 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45495&edit=1
