Re: [PHP-DEV] $string != $array should throw a warning! From: Stanislav Malyshev (stas <email protected>)

I'd say it's neither bigger not smaller (is meter bigger than hour?) -
it's uncomparable, and as such should spit out at least a warning. I don't
think somebody really needs silent autoconversion in this case - also I
don't think many understand what happens there.

And why $string == $array returns string? Note than

var_dump("a" == (string)array("a"));
var_dump("a" != (string)array("a"));

return both what's expected. So what really happens there?
