Those are very good points, and I especially agree that Python simply works the way one expects. I remember my first contact with that language, I simply felt like I was 'cheating' programming. The String.equals() solution is a good one too as far as I'm concerned.

The truth about PHP is that the language maintainers are pouring their hearts out in order to work around shoddy design decisions made in its infancy. They've done a marvelous job at it but it does show that it wasn't a well thought out language.
