<pre> &lt;? $a=5; $b='foo'; if ($a<$b) echo 'false cause 5>0'; if ($b<$a) echo 'false cause "5">"foo"'; ?> </pre> Why in $b was converted to integer in second if? If operator < is left-to-right then second operand must be costed to first operand type? Or not? If we use arithmetic operators like + or - ok we shoul treat strings as integers but condition operators are valid for strints too. Please NOTE/EXPLAIN this situation in dox ;-)
