Bug description:Passing "0" as a parameter through a custom method

Description:
------------
Sorry but I didn't know how to best word the summary.



I have a custom method with an if statement inside. If the parameter passed
through matches "Test", a string is echo'ed. However if I pass "0" through
as the parameter, PHP thinks this is "Test" and echoes the string.



Passing a blank parameter through, i.e. "", does not have the same effect
as "0".



Inserting "if (empty($str))" before the if statement in the example works
as expected, catches the "0" parameter and I get the expected result.
However without this, I get the actual result.



All plugins have been disabled and Apache restarted.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

function testMethod($str = 0)

{

    if ($str == 'Test')

    {

        echo 'Test String!<br>';

    }

}



testMethod('Test');



testMethod(0);

testMethod();

testMethod(1);

testMethod('Something');

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Test String!

Actual result:
--------------
Test String!

Test String!

Test String!
