Note Submitter: S dot Radovanovic at TriMM dot nl ---- One thing to note in comparison with == When we make a comparison with == php automaticly converts strings to integers when either side of the comparison is an integer, f.e.: <? $value = 0; if($value == "submit") { echo "Let's submit"; } ?> Above would be succesful, since "submit" is converted to an integer (eq 0) and the equation is would return true; (that's why (1 == "1submit") would also return true) That's why we should use strcmp or === (checks type also), for string comparisons. So my conclusion is that when comparing string, you'd better not make use of == (use strmp or === instead). For integer comparisons the == equation can be usefull, since our values will always be casted to an integer (1 == "1" returns true).
