If you set the $MyVar=1, the script prints no. Can anybody else verify if this is supposed to happen, or if this is actually a bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-28 22:54:40] btanner@home.com If you compare the integer(0) to the string "null", PHP thinks they are the same. Am I hopped up on goofballs, or whats up here? $MyVar=0; if($MyVar=="null") print("apparently $MyVar is equal to \"null\""); else print("its not null, its $MyValue"); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12453&edit=1
