Since I started coding in PHP, I noticed many bugs in my code are due to unexpected type conversions in PHP, things like the string '0' (zero) being considered equal to the boolean false. If we could turn off this kind of behaviour, or make PHP generate an alert/warning every time it finds itself comparing data of different types, that would be a powerful debugging tool for all of us. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46734&edit=1
