This is *not* typecasting at all, this is assignment of a result of boolean operator, and it boils down to operator precedence. It's equivalent to this code: $b = $x == 11; in the part that right side of equation sign is calculated first, then assigned to lvalue. In effect, you wrote this: $pos = (strpos($sText, "test") !== FALSE); You would often use something like this in code: $isSame = $x == $y; which would put a boolean into $isSame, not put value of $x and then compare it.

Bogdan, you are reviving a thread over a week old, and repeating what 4 other people have already stated. Please don't do that, it just results in mailinglist-noise. - Tul
