Hi. Quick question: I'm comparing two stdClass objects and getting
an unexpected inequality--nonidenticality? Is there a word for the
state of !== returning true? As far as I can tell, all the members
are identical. There is one difference between the two in a var_dump
output, but I'm not sure if that should make PHP consider the two to
be nonidentical:

object(stdClass)#15013 (17) {
^^^^^
...[all the same here]...
}

object(stdClass)#15252 (17) {
^^^^^
...[all the same here]...
}

Literally, the only difference is what follows the # sign. I am
assuming that's some kind of reference id or something, but perhaps
I'm mistaken. Could that be what's making this errantly pass a !==
check?

Whoops. Disregard. Didn't realize they had to be references to the
same instance to pass ===. Guess I'll have to use == for the check.

ref: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.object-comparison.php

Two instances of the same class
o1 == o2 : TRUE
o1 != o2 : FALSE
o1 === o2 : FALSE
o1 !== o2 : TRUE
