Ik know it's bad scripting on my side but I had a scritp that used a variable filled with a 0 (type long). After a check to see if that variable matches a "string" it returns true!

$var=0
$string="string"
IF $var=$string ? "True???" ELSE ? "Untrue" ENDIF

Is this normal behavior? It had me looking for a problem for almost an hour...
