Subject: #36165 [NEW]: "==" considered harmful
Groups: php.bugs 
Request: Send a blank email to php-bugs+get-92502@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message 
From:             scratch65536 at att dot net
Operating system: W2K, but irrelevant
PHP version:      4.4.2
PHP Bug Type:     Feature/Change Request
Bug description:  "==" considered harmful

Description:
------------
To prevent "if ( $a = 2 )"-type errors, an EQ comparison operator would be
very helpful.  (If I had the cost of all the time lost, worldwide, on that
class of error, I'd be living in a villa on the Riviera.)

Although the EQ op is the only one actually needed, for symmetry's sake it
would be pleasant to have the rest, too: NE,LT,LE,GE,GT).

Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a

Expected result:
----------------
n/a

Actual result:
--------------
n/a
