note 49740 added to function.strcmp

One thing to note in comparison with == When we make a comparison with == php automaticly converts strings to integers when either side of the comparison is an integer, f.e.: <? $value = 0; if($value == "submit") { echo "Let's submit"; } ?> Above would be succesful, since "submit" is converted to an integer (eq 0) and the equation is would return true; (that's why (1 == "1submit") would also return true) That's why we should use strcmp or === (checks type also), for string comparisons. So my conclusion is that when comparing string, you'd better not make use of == (use strmp or === instead). For integer comparisons the == equation can be usefull, since our values will always be casted to an integer (1 == "1" returns true). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49740 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49740&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49740&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49740&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49740&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49740&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49740&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
