What is the result of the expression: var_dump([] == false);

Accepted Answer

In PHP, an empty array is considered falsy when compared loosely to a boolean. The loose comparison operator (==) triggers type juggling, where the empty array is converted to a boolean false before comparison, resulting in true. This is a fundamental aspect of PHP's loose comparison rules for complex types.
