Don't say a > thing!!! I rather work on my mac!) =) Thats odd, I come up with a 'Bad' echo also. The only thing I can think of is there is some sort of implicit casting happening to the $value within the comparison. But it does seem very strange that XP would cast but *nix doesn't In that case test the condition reversed: if ($value != $number) I'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work on your system.
