Old Summary: compare string with integer 0 returns true
Old Status: Open
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Old Operating System: Linux
Operating System: Windows NT 4 sp 6a
PHP Version: 4.1.0
New Comment:
this i due to the autoconversation of variables in PHP. Your string is converted into
an integer during the comparison.The integer is 0, since no fitting value can be
found.
So 0 equals 0.

<?php
$i = 0;
$s = 'the string';
if($i == $s) {
echo "'$s' == $i";
} else {
echo "'$s' != $i";
}
?>
// This outputs 'the string' == 0
