It seems there was a bug *before* PHP 5.4, because if $a === $b,
then $a == $b by definition.

Reopening because the associated test tests INF as well. However, this is about
INF:
// 5.3.7-dev (and all past PHP versions, afaict)
$inf = pow(0,-2); var_dump($inf==$inf); var_dump($inf===$inf); // false true
// 5.4.0-dev
$inf = pow(0,-2); var_dump($inf==$inf); var_dump($inf===$inf); // true true
Please explain.
And @jwvdveer, it was indeed fixed (in 5.3) and made to return false.

Please, reopen this bug. It's not working in PHP 5.3.3 on Windows platform
(released at 2010-07-21).
The behaviour of a comparison to NAN is the same as noted here.
It's not just a `me too`, but this thread shouln't have been closed.

NaN is not exact number. So, NaN should not equals itself. Additionaly, NaN ==
NaN is false in C. You can see behavior of C as follows.
$ cat nan.c
int main() {double d;d=(-1e300*1e300)/(1e300*1e300);if (d==d) return 1; else
return 2;}
$ gcc nan.c; ./a.out; echo $?
2
$
