"If you compare an integer with a string, the string is converted to

<?php

$component_reference = 5;

"19") ) {
echo("I am not a 5 or a 19<br>");
}

echo("I am a 5 or a 19<br>");


$component_reference = "5";

$component_reference = 3;
if ( ($component_reference != "5") AND ($component_reference !=
"19") ) {
echo("I am not a 5 or a 19<br>");
}

echo("I am a 5 or a 19<br>");

$component_reference = "3";
