ID: 29155 Comment by: no at spam dot forme Reported By: phpbug at bart dot w-wa dot pl Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.7 New Comment:
you test one integer 0 against a string, which causes php to cast your string into an integer, which results in 0 for the string 'something'. thus, the first case comparison looks like 0 == 'something' <=> 0 == 0 <=> true, the program prints 'something' and breaks the switch. Your result is the expected result. I think this should be more explicitly empathized in the php manual.
