Because you are comparing a string to a number. PHP has to choose to
either compare the two as strings or as numbers. The numerical value of
the string 'test' is 0 which means it works out to 0 == 0 which is true.
If you want to force a string comparison, you can use strcmp() or, if you
want to force a comparison on both value and type, use === instead of ==
