no my dear watson, it's rather elementary.
1. I read his code and it was fine in principle
2. I checked the code with some known values, this confirmed 1
3. given that the expression was evaluating to false it had to be
either a case of:
a, the array was not in the form the OP thought it was
b, the values of the array were the other way around than the OP thought they were
c, the values were not what the OP thought they were
given that he was adament that niether a, nor b, was the case this only left c,.
4. although the OP stated the values were the same he also mentioned he was using 'echo'
to display the values - whitespace does not show with 'echo' but does make a difference
when comparing strings, which explains the mismatch nicely.
PS - If I had a penny for every time I have made the same kind of mistake I would be
paying someone else to write this. needless to say I use a lot of trim()s
