it's not a bug, it's a feature :( (same in php4)

you compare an integer to a string,
the string is converted to an integer
and as 'N/A' does not contain any digits
its integer value is 0, so they are
equal
the other way round it wouldn't:

0 == 'N/A' -> true
'N/A' == 0 -> false

or in php4 you could use '===' instead of '=='

rather missleading, maybe string->integer
conversion should return something like
not-a-number instead of 0 in this case ?
