Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

0x00 -> hex 0
0e04 -> science nonation 0 * 10^4 

they all are numeric string. php will convert them to integer before comparing.
