ID: 65062 User updated by: phoenixsnake at hotmail dot com Reported by: phoenixsnake at hotmail dot com Summary: == operator problem on 0 and string Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.3.26 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for your reply, I will keep in mind that String without leading number will convert to 0 when compare to number with operator ==. No offend. Just wonder. I think type conversion is make sense when use with +, -, *, / operator. Shouldn't we convert number to string before compare ( == ) between number and String ? for example var_dump( 10 == $_POST[ 'input' ] ); #example, user's input some data var_dump( 10 == "10" ); #bool(true) Those statements look strange. var_dump( 10 == "10,15" ); #bool(true) var_dump( 10 == "10 Little Piggies" ); #bool(true) var_dump( "something" == 0 ); #bool(true) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-19 13:38:31] a...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.
