#28219 [NEW]: == object comparison produces E_NOTICE

From: hans at velum dot net Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.0.0RC2 PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Bug description: == object comparison produces E_NOTICE Description: ------------ I get Notice: Object of class File could not be converted to integer when trying to compare object contents using '==' comparison operator. Comparing the actual reference using === works, but obviously means something different. Reproduce code: --------------- class File { public $var; function __construct($val) { $this->var = $val; } } $t1 = new File("test"); $t2 = new File("test"); print_r($t1); print_r($t2); print "\$t1 == \$t2 ?"; if ($t1 == $t2) { print "YES\n"; } else { print "NO\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- File Object ( [var] => test ) File Object ( [var] => test ) $t1 == $t2 ? YES Actual result: -------------- File Object ( [var] => test ) File Object ( [var] => test ) $t1 == $t2 ?
