ok I can understand the first if() failing, php is conffused and things I
want to compare int not strings, this is a peave because php only supports
upto signed long int, which this is much larger, I think php should realize
this and compare them as strings.
the second fails too .. ? this is strange because I have spec. type casted
that as strings, they should compare fine as strings. this is where I
beleive there is more then a quirk and more of a bug.
the third susceeds just as it should, its just not near as elegant as a
simple if ($var_1 == $var_2).
