note 44966 added to types.comparisons

How can this be justified? $boolVal = "00" == "0"; echo "test: $boolVal;<br>"; produces: test: 1; We are presumably comparing the two strings "00" and "0". They shouldn't compare as equal. I guess that the answer is that both are cast to numbers since $boolVal = "0000005" == "5.000000"; echo "test: $boolVal;<br>"; also produces test: 1; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44966 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44966&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44966&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
