In spite of yor best efforts here, PHP converts the string values to numbers (because
the strings look like numbers) before doing the comparison.
Force a string comparison by using strcmp and everything will work fine - remember
that strcmp returns true if the strings are not equal and false if equal.

Hello,
I'm having a rather strange problem. I'm trying to compare two values. "01" and
"1". The variables names that they are submitted under are pick1 and pick2. i use
the following code
$mypick1 = strval($pick1);
$mypick2 = strval($pick2);
I then perform the following comparison:
if ($mypick1 == $mypick2)
{
$error = 1;
$errorstring[1] = "Your first pick and second pick are the same.";
}
However, I get the error that they are equal.
If I call the comparison as foloows:
if(strval($mypick1) == strval($mypick2)
{
$error = 1;
$errorstring[1] = "Your first pick and second pick are the same.";
}
I still get the error. Anyone have any ideas? These two valuse mustbe evaluated as
different.
Thanks in advance
Curtis
