Geez... THAT'll make some people quite confused/lost, when analysing the results from
a function with if/elseif or switch.
Consider:
<?
function foo(){
#...
return true;
#...or...
return 'works ok';
}
$foo = foo();
if(!$foo){
#whatever
}elseif($foo == 'works ok'){
#this will hit
}else{
#or else...
}
?>

any non-empty string will evaluate true!

Hmm... why is that ?
Am I reading manual too briefly, or is there something with the operators ? might be
bogus, but please enlighten me:P
btw: I thought that there's no seperate boolean type =]
<?
function foo(){
return true;
}
if(foo() == 'whatever you like'){
echo '!?!? why is that equal ?';
}
?>
<?
function paranoid(){
return 1;
}
if(!(paranoid() == (string) 'whatever you like')){
echo 'hmm??';
}
?>
