← All PHP questions
Re-explain
- == (Equal): Checks if values are equal after type juggling (type coercion)
- === (Identical): Checks if values are equal AND of the same type (strict comparison)
$a = "5"; // string
$b = 5; // integer
var_dump($a == $b); // true (values equal after conversion)
var_dump($a === $b); // false (different types)
