No they are not equal. Yes, PHP will do the conversion so that they are equal. That does not refute the fact that logically '08' != 8. > Someone already posted why the problem was happening, because the numbers > were being converted to invalid octal numbers and being set to zero. I understand the problem at hand. (and did when I posted) However, if Scott had been doing the conversions manually, he would never have run across this problem. It is a bad idea to rely on the language (whatever the language) to do automatic variable conversions. =C= -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
