Taken from bug 6818:
<?
$variable = 0;
if ($variable == "some_string")
{
print "This must be a bug?! Variable set as $variable.\n\n<br>";
$variable++;
if ($variable != "some_string")
{
print "But with variable set as $variable it works fine.\n\n";
}
}
else
{
print "This works as I expected.\n\n";
}
?>

Could you please describe your problem and give an example
of faulty code?

In response to (the closed) bug #6818 (I can't reopen it):
Using === instead of == is not a solution in my opinion:
- it's not compatible with older code (php3)
- it's still a bug: comparing a variable with value 0 with a string should always return
'false', regardless the type.
