Over the years, I think I have been burned by just about every form of loose type comparison in PHP. Today, I'm going to demo how these can bubble up into the Laravel test helpers and how to avoid the problem. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2025-04-03-video-watch-out-for-mixed-type-comparisons-in-laravel-view-data
