Quick Identical Comparison Operator Question

[dalawh]

Identical Comparison Operator: ===It compares the value and the type. I created a cookie and the value I used was 0. I compared it like this "if($_COOKIE['value']===0){ echo 'EQUAL';}". It seems to not be the same. Can anyone explain to me why? Aren't they both like integers?

Try doing var_dump($_COOKIE['value']); to see the data type

I recall hearing that $_COOKIE[], $_POST[] etc.are all passed as string values.
