You are making an incorrect assumption about the way a string variable is
compared to the number 0. You are not comparing the string "Zero" with
the strings "A" and "Z", you are comparing the number 0 with the strings
"A" and "Z". If you check the relevant php documentation, you will
understand that the behaviour here is exactly as it is documented to be.

You are not comparing the string "zero", you are comparing the number 0.
You are only considering part of the test you are discussing in your
above statements. You need to consider the whole test. The behaviour
appears on inspection to be correct.

Point noted and understood.
Still, "AND" is the key. not "OR".
Both must be true to return true.
Since 0 (zero as string) ls not greater than "A" the condition should
return false.

You do not compare '0', but rather 0, as a simple var_dump($go) would
show. This is because empty('0') === true.

comparing a 0 to a string is always going to be true, regardless of
direction or string.
0<='A' is true
0>='Z' is true
0>='A' is true
However, what you *can* do is this:
if (is_string($go) && strlen($go)===1 && ctype_alpha($go))
{include"http://mroldies.net/songs/".$go.".html";}

Look again at this line:
if(empty($go)){$go=0;}
That doesn't assign zero as string, it assigns zero as number.
As I have already said, the result is according to the documentation for
the number vs string comparison that you are carrying out!
You clearly HAVE NOT understood what you have just claimed that you
understood!
Hint - both *ARE* true.
0 >= "A" evaluates to true
0 <= "Z" evaluates to true
hence
0 >= "A" and 0 <= "Z" evaluates to true
See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php
I'm sure you'll spectacularly fail to comprehend what the tables on that
page show, but they are nonetheless the appropriate reference.

No, it does not.
"Zero" is *greater than* "Z", as you can easily determine by running this at the command
line:
<?php
if ("Zero" > "Z") echo 'yes';
?>
Neither does string zero "0".
*Numeric* zero 0 does, however.

No, it is not. "Zero" is *greater than* "A".
> then the condition returns false.
The reason the condition returns false is that "Zero" is also greater than "Z".

RTFM. This is all explained at php.net in the descriptions of how PHP does comparisons
between strings, and between strings and numerics.

But your comparison is not "greater than" - it is "greater or equal than":
if($go>="A" and $go<="Z")
if $go is 0 (and not "0"!) - then the condition perfectly matches - 0 is
greater or *equal* than 0 and also less or *equal* than 0.

Arno, remember that one of the rules of dealing with richard is that he
never has a more fucked up understanding of something than when he thinks
he understands it.
What he doesn't understand is that:
1) the numeric value 0 is falsey
2) the string value "any string" is falsey
3) the string value "any other string" is falsey
( 0 >= "any string" ) -> ( falsey == falsey ) -> true
( 0 <= "any other string" ) -> ( falsey == falsey ) -> true
and of course:
( true and true ) -> true
Which is why, when his $_GET['a'] has no data, and he then assigns the
value 0 to the variable $go, the test:
($go>="A" and $go<="Z")
is interpreted as:
( 0 >= "any string" and 0 <= "any other string" )
is interpreted as:
( false >= false and false <= false )
is interpreted as:
( false == false and false == false )
is interpreted as:
( true and true )
and is thus true.
And even now that I have written the whole damn sequence out, he'll still
fail to comprehend it and manage to make the same fuck up next week /
month / year / decade for as long as he continues trying to code his
website.

If you'd included one of the classic
if ($a = '4') {
echo "Why does this always happen to me?";
}
ones, I think you would have aced it.

I know. But I don't want his, sorry, bullshit stay uncommented -
otherwise people my find this via Google and think any of is findings
are true, since no one commented it.
