[PHP-DEV] Bug #14605 Updated: compare string with integer 0 returns t From: jan <email protected>
Date: 12/19/01

ID: 14605
Updated by: jan
Reported By: adrian <email protected>
Old Summary: compare string with integer 0 returns true
Old Status: Open
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Old Operating System: Linux
Operating System: Windows NT 4 sp 6a
PHP Version: 4.1.0
New Comment:

this i due to the autoconversation of variables in PHP. Your string is converted into an integer during the comparison.The integer is 0, since no fitting value can be found.
So 0 equals 0.

<?php
        $i = 0;
        $s = 'the string';
        if($i == $s) {
                echo "'$s' == $i";
        } else {
                echo "'$s' != $i";
        }
?>
// This outputs 'the string' == 0
