PHP if condition with boolean
<p>Why does this <a href="http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/d5fff6ee86bc7c62d7624a39a1070cff770ad4aa" rel="nofollow">happen</a>? </p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php $result = true ;
    if($result == 'SOME TEXT')
        echo 'why is this true? why is this printed?';        
    else
        echo 'when this should be printed?'
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Please explain, I am not looking for alternative method.        </p>
