Subject: == object comparison bug?
From: hans@appliedsec.com (Hans Lellelid)

I'm using PHP5.0.0RC2.  I saw that there was a similar question posted, 
but apparently that issue had already been fixed.


---code----------------------------

class File {
	public $var;
	function __construct($val) {
		$this->var = $val;
	}
}

$t1 = new File("test");
$t2 = new File("test");

print_r($t1);
print_r($t2);

print "\$t1 == \$t2 ?";
if ($t1 == $t2) {
	print "YES\n";
} else {
	print "NO\n";
}


---output----------------------------

File Object
(
     [var] => test
)
File Object
(
     [var] => test
)
$t1 == $t2 ?

YES


I don't know why anything is being coverted to an _integer_.  Is this 
intended behavior?  If so, how do I do a PHP4-style object contents 
comparison? Using === doesn't produce any notice, but also means 
something very different of course.
