When using === I get the correct results. Does that mean that when comparing strings one should use ONLY === and not ==. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $str = "1111111111111111111"; $str1 = "1111111111111111112"; if ($str == $str1) print "equal"; ?> Actual result: -------------- equal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28200&edit=1
