you need to compare $a to "5". Remember == is equal while === is Identical.

$isIdentical = (then place your comparison in here);

My payment had expired so i cant get the chance to try out the code but try this:

<?php $a = 5; //Place your code below this comment $isBoolean = true;

$isIdentical = $a == $isBoolean;

var_dump ($isIdentical);

?>
