What is the result of the following loose comparison?var_dump(0 == ‘abc’);

Accepted Answer

In PHP, when a string that does not start with a numeric value is compared loosely to an integer, the string is converted to an integer. The string 'abc' converts to 0. Therefore, 0 == 0 evaluates to true. This is a common source of logic errors in PHP applications.
