Re: Re: string comparison

$section would always be a string in this case, but that is good to know for future development. What is the === comparison? At 06:19 AM 8/23/2002 -0700, you wrote:

Actually, the two are very different. If $section was set to 0 for example, then: if($section == 'logout') would return true whereas if(strcmp($section, 'logout')) would return false. strcmp() forces a string type comparison. if($section === 'logout') would be comparable. -Rasmus On Fri, 23 Aug 2002, Kondwani Spike Mkandawire wrote: "Support @ Fourthrealm.Com" <support@fourthrealm.com> wrote in message news:5.1.0.14.2.20020823091004.09ebe940@mail.bighost.ca...

Would both of these generate the same result? Is there an advantage of one over the other?

1)      if (strcmp($section, 'logout'))

2)      if ($section == 'logout'))

They do achieve the same goal... I'd say the later would be more advantageous coz you are simply using a logic statement hence in terms of the time factor it should be quicker... Where as in the first one we are making a call to a function hence there ought to be a couple of steps that are executed algorithmically... Spike
