I try to pass a username and a password to the program msntauth (user authentication for the Squid proxy server) using the following construction:
$ok = `echo $id '$passwort' | /usr/sbin/msntauth`;
The variable $ok seems to contain the string "OK", but when I try to test it in an if-query, the result is false:
if ($ok == "OK") {
...
}

I think this is not a bug in PHP, but that there are some trailing characters after the OK (such as a new line).
Please reopen if this is not the case.

I don't really know whether it's really a bug, but even if I use the chop() or trim() functions on $ok, it doesn't work. In Perl, the same construction works, and I don't think that there is a great difference between Perl's and PHP's chop() functions.
