No, PHP will happily coerce as needed... the === and !== operators are
for when you want to distinguish the type-- if you want to distinguish
the type, then you probably aren't relying on automatic type conversion.
The comment was that a boolean should be used instead of '1', but then
an integer was provided instead of a boolean. As such, an automatic
conversion still happens with the same outcome. I would imagine though,
that since this function works with the ini type data, it would mirror
what one would expect from the php.ini itself... namely, it probably
handles string values appropriately.
Cheers,
Rob.
