Looks fine to me...

$test == $test2: $test is not an empty string and thus evaluates to
                 true.

$test == $test3: $test is converted to an integer to compare against
                 $test3. Conversion of $test to integer results in 0,
                 which happens to be equal to $test3

You should read the section on type juggling.
