I guess the main reason for PHP to behave like this is to make life easier for many everyday situations. EXAMPLE: User input via GET or POST - usually string You compare it to some value - int/string or whatever So if a user posts '17' (string) and you compare it to 17 (int), unless you are using ===, PHP won't complain. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
