But as I understand, you might want to use the triple-equal sign to determine if they're exactly the same. Are you comparing... 2 with... "0002" (integer versus a string?) If so, the === should work I believe. It should compare variable types as well as values so it shouldn't convert "0002" to just 2 before doing the evaluation. Good luck! -TG = = = Original message = = = Hi List, I was comparing two values, a current value with a new value to build the UPDATE instruction and I faced this: Current value: 2 == new value: 0002 So, PHP is telling me that the current is equal to the new. Is this possible? Any idea to avoid this problem? Thanks for any help.
