`If you have to compare object variables like this be careful not to make a typo, or you could end up calling __set() -
<?php
/* Does what you'd expect it to */
if ( $user->password == $user2->password )
/* Doesn't */
if ( $user->password = $user2->password )
?>
To avoid that ever happening, do it like this:
<?php
if ( strval($user->password) == $user2->password )
?>`

`I can't help being surprised that
(string)"0" == (string)"0.00"
evaluates to true. It's the same with strval and single quotes.
=== avoids it.
Why does it matter? One of my suppliers, unbelievably, uses 0 to mean standard discount and 0.00 to mean no discount in their stock files.`

`It seems that one is being treated as an unsigned large int (32 bit), and the other as a signed large int (which has rolled over/under).

`If you want to convert an integer into an English word string, eg. 29 -> twenty-nine, then here's a function to do it.
Note on use of fmod()
I used the floating point fmod() in preference to the % operator, because % converts the operands to int, corrupting values outside of the range [-2147483648, 2147483647]
I haven't bothered with "billion" because the word means 10e9 or 10e12 depending who you ask.
The function returns '#' if the argument does not represent a whole number.
