$str = "e903916d20ad926f38e239fbf0ba1923";
$test = (int) $str;


echo "We have a string id:\n";
var_dump($str);

echo "\nAnd when we cast it to (int), it becomes:\n";
var_dump($test);


echo "\nNow lets see if they are the same ($str == $test):\n";
if ($str == $test) {
	echo "- Yes, they are the same!!";   // Wtf?
} else {
	echo "- No, they're not the same.";
}

What's the question exactly?

If you want them to differ, you should check with if ($str === $test).

Else you are comparing a string with an integer:

string == integer

becomes

(int) string == integer

and of course that's true.
