RE www.feisar.de <?php $x1 = '111111111111111111'; $x2 = '111111111111111112'; echo ($x1 == $x2) ? "true\n" : "false\n"; ?> // prints true; You are right about need to use === to force a string to string comparison. However as the number exceed the 32 bit range PHP is comparing the floating point not the integer values. Both have a float values of 1.11111111111E+017 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59875 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59875&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59875&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59875&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59875&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59875&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59875&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59875&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59875&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
