This would resolve your problems:

Use the IDENTICAL (===) and NOT IDENTICAL (!==) comparsion operators...

Description:
------------
That would be nice to be able to turn off any kind of type conversions in PHP.
Since I started coding in PHP, I noticed many bugs in my code are due to
unexpected type conversions in PHP, things like the string '0' (zero) being
considered equal to the boolean false.
If we could turn off this kind of behaviour, or make PHP generate an
alert/warning every time it finds itself comparing data of different types,
that would be a powerful debugging tool for all of us.
Thanks!
