it looks that
if you check 0 against a string with == then PHP returns true:
php -r 'var_dump(0 == "statuses");'
-> returns TRUE
but not if your string has a number at the beginning:
php -r 'var_dump(0 == "2statuses");'
-> returns FALSE
from the specs I get it that it attempts a conversion - in this case the string to number.
so better use ===
as always :)
