Hi Oliver, you should test with === instead of == http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php

Hi all,
I have stumbled across something odd related to classes, instances and NULL in PHP 4. Apparently, an instance of a class that doesn't contain any variables is always equal to NULL.
class MyClass { function anyFunction() { ... } }
$c = new MyClass(); if ($c == null) { print "is \$c really null?"; }
`is_null($c)' however, returns `false', as one would expect.
As soon as the class contains a variable, the `$c == null' comparison returns false.
Is there any logical reason why the comparison with the `==' operator returns `true'? I don't know about the internals of PHP, but I think this might be related to implementation details (e.g. instances of classes being associative arrays). However, from an OOP point of view this behaviour seems rather weird.
I may not be the first to notice this. I couldn't find anything in the mailing list, if there has already been a discussion about this, just point me to the right direction.
Thanks Oliver
