Hi Hoffman,
When you are trying to do a numeric comparsion on strings.
The interpreter will try to convert them to numbers and then do a
comparsion.
if it cannot convert to numbers they are made 0's and then it will
compare.
for more info please refer to this url:

Could some one explain how, in the example below, $name and $goodguy
are equal numerically?
$name = 'Markkkk';
$goodguy = 'Tony';
if ($name == $goodguy) {
print "Hello, Sir.\n";
} else {
print "Begone, evil peon!\n";
}
Thanks,
Hoffmann
