Why does 1234 == '1234 test' evaluate to true?
equality, equals, php
Solution
Because you are using the == (similarity) operator and PHP is coercing the string to an int.
To resolve it use the === (equality) operator, which checks not only if the value is the same, but also if the data type is the same, so "123" string and 123 int won't be considered equal.
