<title>Comparing objects</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In PHP 5, object comparison is more complicated than in PHP 4 and more
|
|
in accordance to what one will expect from an Object Oriented Language
|
|
(not that PHP 5 is such a language).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When using the comparison operator (<literal>==</literal>),
|
|
object variables are compared in a simple manner, namely: Two object
|
|
instances are equal if they have the same attributes and values, and are
|
|
instances of the same class.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
On the other hand, when using the identity operator (<literal>===</literal>),
|
|
object variables are identical if and only if they refer to the same
|
|
instance of the same class.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
An example will clarify these rules.
