Using the numeric value 0 and the string "%" in an if-statement results with true!? Reproduce code: --------------- $foo = '%'; $bar = 0; if ($foo == $var) { echo "what the hell is going on?!\n"; } $foo = '%'; $bar = '0'; if ($foo == $var) { echo "what the hell is going on?!\n"; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31458&edit=1
