 +==== String Integer conversion ====
 +
 +PHP converts "integer like string to integer".
 +
 +  <?php
 +  
 +  // this is the problem, which we'd expect
 +  // to return false, but which returns true:
 +  echo (2 == '2b').'<br />';
 +  
 +  // this is probably what's happening:
 +  echo (2 == intval('2b')).'<br />';
 +  
 +  // this is what probably should happen:
 +  echo (strval(2) != '2b').'<br />';
 +  
 +  ?>

 +
 +==== NAN/INF of float ====
 +
 +NAN/INF issue.
 +
 +  $f = NAN;
 +  var_dump(++$f);                 // float NAN
 +  var_dump((float) NAN);   // float NAN
 +  var_dump((int) NAN);       // int -2147483648 -> what?
 +  var_dump((bool) NAN);   // bool true -> makes sense
 +  
 +  $f = INF;
 +  var_dump(++$f);                         // float INF
 +  var_dump((float) INF);             // float INF
 +  var_dump((int) INF);                 // int 0 -> what?
 +  var_dump((bool) INF);             // bool true -> so why int 0?
 +  var_dump((int) (bool) INF);   // int 1
 +
 +E_WARNING for these invalid/unreliable operations might be better.
 + 
 +This could be mitigated by GMP float support.
