Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php php -r ' $a = "0205100104040203000000000000001"; $b = "0205100104040203000000000000002"; var_dump($a == $b);' == true php -r ' $a = "0205100104040203000000000000001"; $b = "0205100104040203000000000000002"; var_dump($a === $b);' == false. php will cast strings to numbers and compare them.. - depending on your system. the number may be too big to store in an double.. - use bcmath or === or strcmp...

The if-Statement gives me a "true". I want a "false". Reproduce code: --------------- $val1="020510010404020301"; $val2="020510010404020302"; if( $val1 == $val2 ) { echo $val1; echo "<br>"; echo $val2; echo "<br>"; echo "is not good"; } else { echo "yeah"; } Expected result: ---------------- go into the "else" Actual result: -------------- go into the "if" Note: var_dump() used with $var1 and $var2 gives me string(18) strcmp() works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25943&edit=1
