note 88112 added to function.define

@mittiprovence That is not related to define(). What is puzzling you is loose comparison in PHP. "Comparing a defined constant with an int always returns true." Well, this defined constant will return false if replaced into your example: define('myDefinedName', 42); By comparing an integer to a (constant) string, PHP will type cast your string to int before comparing it to the first int. If you did not want this, you should have used the strict comparison operator (===). Your constant's value when cast to an integer (int)'stephane' will be equal to 0. So ($name == myDefinedName) evaluates to true. Hope this helps. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 66.171.107.207 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.define.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88112 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88112/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88112/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88112/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88112/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88112/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88112/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88112 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88112 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
