PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: switch case matching
Description:
------------
What are the chances of changing the way in which switch case-matching
works, from a '=='-equivalent to a '==='-equivalent?
Alternatively, how about a huge warning on the manual page for the switch
statement for people who might reasonably expect that the attached code
would act in a sane fashion?
Reproduce code:
---------------
switch (null)
{
case 0:
echo "PHP case-matching is brain-damaged.\n";
break;
case null:
echo "PHP case-matching is sane.\n";
break;
}
Expected result:
----------------
PHP case-matching is sane.
Actual result:
--------------
PHP case-matching is brain-damaged.
