note 41986 added to language.types.string

watch out when comparing strings that are numbers. this example: <?php $x1 = '111111111111111111'; $x2 = '111111111111111112'; echo ($x1 == $x2) ? "true\n" : "false\n"; ?> will output "true", although the strings are different. With large integer-strings, it seems that PHP compares only the integer values, not the strings. Even strval() will not work here. To be on the safe side, use: $x1 === $x2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41986 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41986&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41986&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
