This code:
<?
$var1 = "020610000030012452";
$var2 = "020610000030012451";
$test1 = (string) $var1
$test2 = (string) $var2;
echo gettype($test2)."---".gettype($test1)."<BR><BR>";
echo $test2."---".$test1."<BR><BR>";
if ( $test2 != $test1){
echo ("The variables are not equal.");
}
?>
Produces the following output (Notice that it doesn't say vars are not equal);
--------------------------------------------------------------------
string---string
020610000030012451---020610000030012452
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And this code:
<?
$var1 = "A"."020610000030012452";
$var2 = "A"."020610000030012451";
$test1 = (string) $var1
$test2 = (string) $var2;
echo gettype($test2)."---".gettype($test1)."<BR><BR>";
echo $test2."---".$test1."<BR><BR>";
if ( $test2 != $test1){
echo ("The variables are not equal.");
}
?>
Produces the following output (Notice it printed the message about vars not
being equal);
--------------------------------------------------------------------
string---string
020610000030012451---020610000030012452
The variables are not equal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Why does PHP Version 4.2.3 ignore my (string) - cast to string in the if
evaluation?
I even tried putting the (string) inside the IF statement with no difference in
execution.
P.S.
The variables were reporting string before I even tried (string).
