#34426 [Bgs]: implicit string casting problem

ID: 34426 User updated by: mbphp at netzone dot ch Reported By: mbphp at netzone dot ch Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.4.0 New Comment: yes, i know that it works with ===, but i think the behaviour is not correct. why is there a type-casting if both operators are strings? it is slower only and the result is not correct. if one of the operators is a numeric variable (float, int, ...) type-casting make sense, but not if both are strings. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-08 12:48:45] tony2001@php.net Use === operator for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-08 12:44:54] mbphp at netzone dot ch Description: ------------ compare of 2 string with numbers >> implicit casting $a="1.5"; $b="1.50"; $a==$b gives true. which is not correct both are strings, so casting to another type is not ucorrect i think. if the variables are of different type casting is ok but not if both are of the same type. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34426&edit=1
