Because === and !== check the type as well. Of you set $string = 'blah' you'll still get the same result. If you were using != and == both would print. strpos() returns an int, so comparing it to false with === is always false. The same would be true for true. > > -jsd- > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > !DSPAM:410846c1241919501214933! > > -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
