<? $qty = "0" ; if ($qty != "test") print ("qty is not test"); ?> <? $qty = 0 ; if ($qty != "test") printf("qty is not test"); ?> I just tested those two lines with php 4.0.6 and they both work. There is a difference though. If you set $qty=0; then $qty has no value. But if you set $qty="0", it has a value. Type casting is irrelevant in php.
