Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/language.operators.array
---

Hello!

var_dump(['15', '18'] == ['18', '15']); //it's false 

I think there is a documentation's mistake 
$a == $b Equality true if $a and $b have the same key/value pairs.

Please check. Have a good day! 

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(['15', '18'] == ['18', '15']); //it's false 

Expected result:
----------------
var_dump(['15', '18'] == ['18', '15']); // true

Actual result:
--------------
var_dump(['15', '18'] == ['18', '15']); //it's false

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

['15', '18'] and ['18', '15'] do not have the same key/value pairs, the keys are reversed.

[
  0 => '15',
  1 => '18',
]

vs

[
  0 => '18',
  1 => '15',
]

Unfortunately, I don't read good documentation. I found this sentence too late "Elements of arrays are equal for the comparison if they have the same key and value."
