Comparison operators are generally used inside a construct such as an if statement in which you need to compare two items. For example, you may wish to know whether a variable you have been incrementing has reached a specific value, or whether another variable is less than a set value, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operator Description Example\n== Is equal to $j == 4\n!= Is not equal to $j != 21\n< Is less than $j < 100\n> Is greater than $j > 3\n>= Is greater than or equal to $j >= 15\n<= Is less than or equal to $j <= 8\n<> Is not equal to to $j <> 23\n=== Is identical to to $j === \"987\"\n!== Is not identical to to $j !== \"1.2e3\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\nNote the difference between = and ==. The first is an assignment operator, and the second is a comparison operator. Even advanced programmers can sometimes mix up the two when coding hurriedly, so be careful.
