Note Submitter: wizzard@wizzard.org ---- These comparison operators work based on the context in which they are being used. So if you want to compare two strings, but they both happen to be valid numeric values, you're in line to get burned. The PHP way to compare two strings safely is to use strcmp(). <BR><BR> P.S. Don't look for this to change in PHP4 either, when I asked Andi Gutmans (the guy who put the "nd" in Zend), he said the following: "We don't want to add eq and the likes to PHP because they just add more perl-ish complexity."
