The note about object comparison should be corrected. Cloning objects does not imply instances are the same, so === would return FALSE.
Compare object
<?php
$o = new stdClass();
$o->we = 12;
$o2 = new stdClass();
$o2->we = 12;
$o3 = clone $o2;
var_dump($o == $o2); //true
var_dump($o === $o2); //false
var_dump($o3 === $o2); //false
?>
PHP 型の比較表
下記の表はPHPの型と 比較演算子 の振る舞いについて、緩やかな場合と厳密な場合の両方について 例を示しています。この付録はマニュアルの 型の相互変換 にも関連しています。種々のユーザーコメントと » BlueShoesの働きの おかげです。
この表を活用する前に、型とその意味について理解しておく必要があります。 例えば、"42"は文字列ですが 42は整数です。 FALSEはbooleanですが"false"は 文字列です。
注意: HTMLフォームは整数、浮動小数点数、booleanを渡してはくれず、 文字列を渡します。文字が数値であるかどうか確認するには、 is_numeric()を使うとよいでしょう。
注意: $xが定義されていない状態で単に if ($x)としてしまうとE_NOTICE レベルのエラーが発行てしまいます。代わりに、empty()や isset()を使うかあるいは変数を初期化するように してください。

A comparison table for <=,<,=>,> would be nice...
Following are TRUE (tested PHP4&5):
NULL <= -1
NULL <= 0
NULL <= 1
!(NULL >= -1)
NULL >= 0
!(NULL >= 1)
That was a surprise for me (and it is not like SQL, I would like to have the option to have SQL semantics with NULL...).

Re: omit's comment
The note omit quotes is referring to the VALUE returned, not its name. If you put 42 into a text field, the corresponding array value will be the string "42". The note makes no comment on the array's keys.

the manual said "HTML Forms do not pass integers, floats, or booleans; they pass strings"
while this is true, php will sometimes change the type to either type array, or possibly type integer(no, not a numeric string) if it was used as an array key. php seems to do this when it parses the request data into the predefined variable arrays.
example:
<input type="text" name="foo[5]">
<input type="text" name="foo[7]">
now obviously the browser will send those names as a string. but php will change thier type.
<?php
// $_POST['foo'] is an array
var_dump($_POST['foo']);
foreach ($_POST['foo'] as $key => $val) {
// the keys 5 and 7 will be type integer
var_dump($key);
}
?>
because of this, its also a good idea to check the types of your variables.

Note that php comparison is not transitive:
"php" == 0 => true
0 == null => true
null == "php" => false

In case it helps someone, here's a table to compare different Variable tests (created before I found this page!)

In some languages, a boolean is promoted to an integer (with a value of 1 or -1, typically) if used in an expression with an integer. I found that PHP has it both ways:
If you add a boolean with a value of true to an integer with a value of 3, the result will be 4 (because the boolean is cast as an integer).
On the other hand, if you test a boolean with a value of true for equality with an integer with a value of three, the result will be true (because the integer is cast as a boolean).
Surprisingly, at first glance, if you use either < or > as the comparison operator the result is always false (again, because the integer as cast as a boolean, and true is neither greater nor less than true).

<?php
if (strlen($_POST['var']) > 0) {
// form value is ok
}
?>
When working with HTML forms this a good way to:
(A) let "0" post values through like select or radio values that correspond to array keys or checkbox booleans that would return FALSE with empty(), and;
(B) screen out $x = "" values, that would return TRUE with isset()!
Because HTML forms post values as strings, this is a good way to test variables!
[[Editor Note: This will create a PHP Error of level E_NOTICE if the checked variable (in this case $_POST['var']) is undefined. It may be used after (in conjuection with) isset() to prevent this.]]

The way PHP handles comparisons when multiple types are concerned is quite confusing.
For example:
"php" == 0
This is true, because the string is casted interally to an integer. Any string (that does not start with a number), when casted to an integer, will be 0.
