I'm pretty sure this is the right answer.  If not, someone please
correct me.  PHP will compare the 0 against the integer represented by
the string.  So, for example, 0 == "0" would test true.  0 == "1" would
test false.  However, 'heading' doesn't represent a valid integer, so it
appears on the right hand side as just 0, which is equal to the left
hand side.
