This is why I originated a thread along these lines some time ago. I
sympathize with your pain, being a C programmer as well. Apparently, PHP
plays fast and loose with types when doing == comparisons.

With the initial explode, I may be wrong but I don't think it's possible to
force every entry to be string-typed. However, this little snippet could
help:
$foo = explode(';', $db);
foreach($foo as $bar) {
$bar = settype($bar, 'string);
}
which will set each element's type to string, but is

You were right. :)
I did not plan on looking-in anything other than one or two hard-coded
folder locations. But, it is good to know the details.

First of all make sure you are sending both strings through realpath
(http://php.net/realpath) to remove any symbolic links and relative
references. Then you can compare the two strings. The way you're doing
it will work but it's probably not very efficient. This is what I use...

Hi folks,
well, I have a really dumb question:
I have the following script at http://www.tisys.org/misc/test.php:
?php
echo $_GET['license'];
?
Now I call it like this:
http://www.tisys.org/misc/test.php?
license=0701770160811371731660412452242420381052542100071831272071031621
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
//echo post equals.$_POST['x']. corect is.$correct_answers[$page-1];
$compare1 = $_POST['x'];
echo page is.$page;
$compare2 = $correct_answers[($page-1)];
echo compare1 is .$compare1;
echo BR;
echo compare2 is .$compare2;
if (strcmp($compare1, $compare2) == 0) {
Hi there,
I would like to compare 2 strings.
I do always get a 0 return (not equal) but they are difinatelly equal, I
double checked it. They are just in two different vars.
Here is how I did it:
if (strcmp($city, $city_new) != 0) $error = true;
Does anybody see the error? Or am I going
strcmp returns 0 if the two strings are equal.
In any case, why not just do
if ($city == $city_new) $error = true;

Bear with me, new to PHP and got a beginner's questions
How do I run an if statement and the if statement compares a String?
IN ASP (yes I Know, ASP is evil) I would have wrote
if (String(Request(Action))==Submit)
do this
In PHP I have tried
if ($Action == Submit) but I get a parse
I feel fairly new to this as well but I think that, whilst your logic is
right, the syntax may be a little off.
if ($action == textstring)
{
echo true;
}
else
{
echo false;
}
Above should show how the syntax will rok.
Good luck
