  $variable++;
  if ($variable != "some_string")
  {
    print "But with variable set as $variable it works fine.\n\n";
  }

In response to (the closed) bug #6818 (I can't reopen it):

Using === instead of == is not a solution in my opinion:
- it's not compatible with older code (php3)
- it's still a bug: comparing a variable with value 0 with a string should always return 'false', regardless the type.
