I'm sure you appreciate the importance of transitive equality in programming
languages (especially they all aspire to be pseudo-mathematical), which is
why I think you'll appreciate this.
<?php
$a = "0";
$b = 0;
$c = "";
$d = " ";
$a == $b // T
$b == $c // T
$a == $c // F!!
$b == $c // T
$b == $d // T
$c == $d // F!!
?>
Perl, of course, outputs the expected values: $a, $b, $c and $d are equal
under '==', and only $a and $b are equal under 'eq'. PHP's '===' operator
(its equivalent to 'eq') says that $a, $b, $c and $d are all different.
Doesn't that seem like a fundamental flaw? How can equality NOT be
transitive?? How can anyone be expected to write programs in such an
environment?
