Hi!

This seems to be a bug:

<?php $TextColor="000000"; if ($TextColor == "0000D0") echo "Why?"; ?>

This will produce the output "Why?" on my system ... but: why?
"000000" isn't equal "0000D0"!?

If I'm wrong, please tell me why ... thanks!!

this (mis- but shh, don't tell anyone :)feature has already caused much confusion. the reason: "0000d0" is automagically converted to 0, just like the other string.

you're welcome.

use === to compare strings without auto-conversion
