Description:
------------
I have a php file containing exaclty the code below.
It prints true when run in the browser but false when run on command line.
I cleared my browser cache, hit ctrl+f5... I even changed the scripts file name.
After making changes to this simple file (just adding whitespaces to the end) and hitting f5 in the browser it says false _once_ but than true again.

PHP 7.0.13 and 7.0.15
Apache/2.4.18

See the last comment: "I've verified that both the cli and Apache both use the same version and the output varies between both of them. I am out of idea's, except an update of the PHP version if its available. [...]" – Xorifelse

I let him see it in action via team viewer and he verified that I'm not talking shit.
