I have two strings. One from DB, second generated inside PHP.

var_dump of them:

string(67) "https://xxxxx.xxxxxxxx.pl/pl/ubrania-tuniki?dir=asc&order=price"
string(63) "https://xxxxx.xxxxxxxx.pl/pl/ubrania-tuniki?dir=asc&order=price"

How is it possible?

$a==$b
bool(false)

strcmp($a,$b)
int(-14)

67 != 63. Looks like you have some funky characters in there – John Conde Jul 05 '16 at 13:47
How can I check it? var_dump returns the same string inside quotas – RobM Jul 05 '16 at 13:48
Can you post the raw strings ? Save them to a temp file or read diretly from db? – cb0 Jul 05 '16 at 13:50

Try running `unpack('C*', $string)` to unpack the string to bytes array. Maybe you'll notice differences. – wazelin Jul 05 '16 at 13:51
@Wazelin Thank you. The problem was & => & – RobM Jul 05 '16 at 14:01
