I have this incorrect piece of code:

$anArray = self::getArray();
echo strcmp($anArray, "comparison"); 

On 7.4.33 0 is echo’d.

On 7.4.3 I receive a TypeError:

strcmp(): Argument #1 ($string1) must be of type string, array given

I have used gettype() to output the type of $anArray and sure enough, it’s an array.

So why is 7.4.33 handling this? I wondered if I have something incorrectly set in php.ini for the 7.4.33 example?

I also notice phpstan doesn’t pick this up on 7.4.33 (I haven’t tested it on 7.4.3).
