False Positive: It’s not safe to use “===” here: $s == '0.00'

[iclukas]

Subject	Details
Plugin	Php Inspections (EA Extended) 4.0.6
Language level	e.g. PHP 7.2, but doesn’t matter

Current behaviour

$s = '0';
if ($s === '0.00') echo 'really equal'; // condition is false
if ($s == '0.00') echo 'not quite equal, but still'; // condition is true

The suggestion for the last line is _Safely use '===' here._

Expected behaviour

Suggestion should be _Please consider using more strict '===' here_ when the string is numeric and can be cast to (float) 0.0
or better yet point out that numbers and nully strings will equal a nully string.

To use only strict comparisions, the former example would require type checking and casting.

Environment details

PHP treats these as true:

0==' 0.00'
0.0=='0'
'0.000000'=='0.0'
