ah, no, these answers are exactly right, given that $a is an integer,

true. #5 and #6 compare strings to the string of unset and so are false.
Yes, this is what PHP does. It's just that what PHP does is insane. It
does not match any normal, logical thought process.
A content-free emotive statement.
It would be more accurate to say that it follows a set of principles you
do not share, namely, weak typing. We would expect you as a java dude
to prefer strong typing. Strong typing to me is inappropriate in a web
layer, and reduces my productivity. Is it insane? No, just
incompatible with my design goals and methods.
