Description:
------------
$x = 07;
if($x == 7){
echo 'correct';
}else{
echo 'they are not the same';
}

$x = 08;
if($x == 8){
echo 'correct';
}else{
echo 'they are not the same';
}

$x = 09;
if($x == 9){
echo 'correct';
}else{
echo 'they are not the same';
}

Test script:
---------------
$x = 07;
if($x == 7){
echo 'correct';
}else{
echo 'they are not the same';
}

$x = 08;
if($x == 8){
echo 'correct';
}else{
echo 'they are not the same';
}

$x = 09;
if($x == 9){
echo 'correct';
}else{
echo 'they are not the same';
}

Expected result:
----------------
$x = 08;
if($x == 8){
echo 'correct';
}else{
echo 'they are not the same';
}

$x = 09;
if($x == 9){
echo 'correct';
}else{
echo 'they are not the same';
}

the results should be correct.

| the results should be correct.

Actually the results are correct.  07, 08 and 09 are treated as 
octal integers, and the documentation on integers
(<http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php>) states:

| If an invalid digit is given in an octal integer (i.e. 8 or 9),
| the rest of the number is ignored.
