Difference between '==' and '===' operators

[php_ben]

Can someone help me understand these operators.

Thanks.

Read the PHP manual on comparison operators.

== compares for equivalency.
=== compares for equivalency and type.

For example:
true == 1, but true does not === 1 because true is a boolean value and 1 is an integer value.
