Bug description: Problem when comparing casted strings
Description:
------------
I'm casting a string to a double; afterwards the casted result does differ
from the original string, but comparing them does not work properly and
leads to a wrong bool.
strcmp works, though.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$stringAmount = '2008-06-13 14:24:00';
$doubleAmount = (double) $stringAmount;
echo 'doubleAmount: ' . $doubleAmount . ' stringAmount: ' .
$stringAmount;
if ($doubleAmount != $stringAmount)
{
echo '<br/>' . $doubleAmount . ' is not equal to' . $stringAmount;
}
else
{
echo "<br/> both are equal";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
doubleAmount: 2008 stringAmount: 2008-06-13 14:24:00
2008 is not equal to2008-06-13 14:24:00
Actual result:
--------------
doubleAmount: 2008 stringAmount: 2008-06-13 14:24:00
both are equal
