In PHP, == means “compare for equality” whereas === means “compare for same type and equality.” Sometimes the difference is important.<\/p>\n
\nstrpos(longstring, shortstring) tells where, in the longstring, you will find the shortstring. If the shortstring isn’t in the longstring, false<\/em> is returned. Yet, if the longstring and shortstring are identical, 0 is returned, since they match starting from 0 (strings start at position 0, not 1).<\/p>\n In PHP 0==false is true, but 0===false isn’t. Therefore, with strpos, === can distinguish between an exact match and no match, but == can’t.<\/p>\n Source:<\/p>\n php.net<\/a><\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about PHP comparisons: the tutor begins… In PHP, == means “compare for equality” whereas === means “compare for same type and equality.” Sometimes the difference is important. strpos(longstring, shortstring) tells where, in the longstring, you will find the shortstring. …<\/p>\n
