Beware of this one! It says "Impossible" where the numbers are clearly different and they are strings in the 1st place. I don't know why PHP wants to convert a string to number just for comparing it and give the wrong result because it truncated the numbers! So be cautious when you write your code. if ("078042005027092025011082094117019026011" == "078042005027092025011082094054019026011") echo 'Impossible!'; else echo 'Ok, they are different!'; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40648 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40648&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40648&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
