Remember that when you are comparing an integer with a string, the string will be casted to integer as a zero. So if you try to compare 0 == anything, this will be TRUE. http://es2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php #language.types.string.conversion imagine you are using a foreach to iterate an array of mixed index: <?php $dummy = array (0=>Blue, 1=>Red, solution=>Yellow); foreach ($dummy as $key=>$color){ if ($key == 'solution'){ echo "The winner is".$color; } ?> this will output "Blue", because 0=='solution' is true. hope this helped some other newbies like me :-) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46773 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46773&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46773&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46773&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46773&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46773&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46773&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46773&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
