Taken from bug 6818:

<?

$variable = 0;

if ($variable == "some_string")
{
  print "This must be a bug?! Variable set as $variable.nn<br>";
  $variable++;
  if ($variable != "some_string")
  {
    print "But with variable set as $variable it works fine.nn";
  }
}
else
{
  print "This works as I expected.nn";
}

?>

Could you please describe your problem and give an example
of faulty code?

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.
