From https://php.watch/versions/8.0#string-number-comparison and release notes:
https://php.watch/versions/8.0/string-number-comparison
Non-strict comparisons between numbers and non-numeric strings now work by
casting the number to string and comparing the strings. Comparisons between
numbers and numeric strings continue to work as before. Notably, this means
that `0 == "not-a-number"` is considered false now.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/string_to_number_comparison
(so they changed what's converted, previously the string was coerced to number, now the opposite)
For example, the following snippet returns true on PHP7 and false on PHP8:
var_dump('' == 0);
|
This causes some errors around Moodle where we expected empty string to be treated as 0.
