Zesty Ping never learned === apparently.  This one's for you Zesty:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php

"===" introduced type facing in php4 so it is a moot point or just poor reading skills on some developers parts if they missed this essential comparison operator...

I don't see this as a problem, basically the issue being raised is:
PHP does not have strong typing, this 0, NULL, and false are all 
equivalent(add a $d=false; to the definitions and everything still comes 
out with the same result).

However, knowing that these 3 values are considered the same, you can 
replace 2 equal signs with 3, ===, and get the output your expecting.
