example         name                               result
$a == $b        Equal                              True if $a is equal to $b.
$a === $b       Identical                          True if $a is equal to $b, and they are of the same type. (PHP4 only)
$a != $b        Not equal                          True if $a is not equal to $b.
$a < $b         Less than                          True if $a is strictly less than $b.
$a > $b         Greater than                       True if $a is strictly greater than $b.
$a <= $b        Less than or equal to              True if $a is less than or equal to $b.
$a >= $b        Greater than or equal to           True if $a is greater than or equal to $b.
