Which is why you should use === if you want to compare different types like that.  You are comparing an integer to a string, so PHP has to one to the other.  In this case it converted "*" to an integer which ends up being 0 and 0==0 so that is the result you get.  Do your own conversion first to force it to convert the right one, or use === to compare both type and value.
