Hi guys and gals,
I'm not screaming "Bug! Bug!" but this _does_ look 'illogical' to me. I've searched the archives, but found no earlier conversation. Sorry if I missed it. Consider the following code:
var_dump(in_array('test', array(0)));
What does this return? I expect bool(false), but it returns bool(true). After some searching the web, I bumped into this: http://www.phpdiscuss.com/article.php?id=67763&group=php.bugs
Basically, it is said by derick [at] php.net that this behavior is expected. The following code :
var_dump('test' == 0);
'test' and 0 are not of the same type (string vs int), so string is converted to int, 0. In the examples below no type casting is needed.
also returns bool(true). But my logic tells me, that if 'test' == 0, then :
if (0) { ... }
should do the same as
if ('test') { ... }
but it doesn't! The first if-statement is _not_ executed, the latter is. In my opinion, this is not correct. Any thoughts on this? Am I not seeing the logic here?
Thanks for your thoughts.
