趣题:

   下面的几段代码分别输出true or false？

   第一个：

<?php
$key=1;
var_dump($key == " \t01ab");
?>

   第二个：

<?php
$key='1';
var_dump($key == " \t01ab");
?>

   第三个：

<?php
$key=0;
var_dump($key == " \t01ab");
?>

   第四个：

<?php
$key=0;
var_dump($key == " \t00ab");
?>

   第五个：

<?php
$key=0;
var_dump($key == " ab");
?>

   第六个：

<?php
$key='0';
var_dump($key == " ab");
?>

   答案：

   第一道：true

   第二道：false

   第三道：false

   第四道：true

   第五道：true

   第六道：false

   题解：

   当比较的一方是数字时，字符串会转换成数字，然后再进行比较。

   如果比较的两方全部为字符串时，当然就不存在转换，只是单纯的进行字符串比较了。

   需要注意的是，字符串转换成数字时，如果字符串被视为十进制格式时，大概的转换规则如下：

   1.过滤前面的一些字符。这些字符包括  空格，’\t’ ，’\n’ ， ‘\r’  ，’\v’ ， ‘\f’ 和 0

   2.把后面不是数字的字符和之后字符也过滤掉。如 123abc4 就会把a和之后的字符过滤掉。

   思考题:

   如果前面的== 改成 === 结果如何？

   进阶：

   以上只是大概的转换规则，可能有说的不严禁的地方。具体的规则大家可以查看源码：

   zend/zend_operators.c:1402行

   这个方法说明了比较时，各种情况下比较规则。
