How does PHP compare strings with comparison operators?

Question

I\'m comparing strings with comparison operators.

I needs some short of explanations for the below two comparisons and their result.

if(\'ai\' >          


        

Answer 1

When both Strings are in Number format, PHP will convert the strings to numbers and convert the values.

If you compare a number with a string or the comparison involves numerical strings, then each string is converted to a number and the comparison performed numerically. These rules also apply to the switch statement. The type conversion does not take place when the comparison is === or !== as this involves comparing the type as well as the value.

Edit: formatting.
