Summary: array('word')==array(0) -- true
Status: Not a bug

New Comment:
@radamanf: He is comparing with == so all array elements are also compared with
==. And as in PHP 'word'==0 they are considered equal. Are you suggesting that
when you compare arrays with == the elements should be compared with ===? That
makes no sense to me.

Comparison === needed ONLY if, during type conversion, we got same values, so
String compare to Integer should be compared using Integer converted to string
and check if they are equal.
So if String is '' and Int is 0
or '1' == 1
'2' == 2
.. etc. only in this cases === is necessary to tell VARIABLE TYPE difference.
It's so obvious, why I'm explaining all this to you ?! You should know this
better than me! Please fix this BUG

use ===
'word' is converted to an integer for the comparison, and thus 0 == 0.
try this code:
if(array('word')===array(0)) echo "ERROR";
