Re: Question about "if" statement evaluating (0=="string") as TRUE

I think this is happening because you're comparing apples to oranges. Your first comparison causes an integer to be compared to a string. Because the string "string" evaluates to the integer value 0, the comparison succeeds. The manual recommends the use of the identical comparison operator (===) instead, or--better yet--the strcmp() function when comparing two strings.
