NAME

equal - check if two values are equal or not

SYNTAX

int equal(mixed a, mixed b);

DESCRIPTION

This function checks if the values a and b are equal. For all types but arrays, multisets and mappings, this operation is the same as doing a == b. For arrays, mappings and multisets however, their contents are checked recursively, and if all their contents are the same and in the same place, they are considered equal.

EXAMPLES

> ({ 1 }) == ({ 1 });
Result: 0
> equal( ({ 1 }), ({ 1 }) );
Result: 1
