Comparison Operators in PHP
In PHP, when we want to compare 2 values, we make use of comparison operators. These comparison operators are basically used with conditional statements and will return a boolean value (true or false). Most commonly used comparison operators are given below.
| Operator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| $a == $b | $a is equal to $b |
| $a != $b | $a is not equal to $b |
| $a < $b | $a is less than $b |
| $a > $b | $a is greater than $b |
| $a <= $b | $a is less than or equal to $b |
| $a >= $b | $a is greater than or equal to $b |
| $a === $b | $a is equal to $b and they are of same data type. |
| $a !== $b | $a is not equal to $b and they are also not of same data type. |
