Use "==" instead of "===" and your code is completely fine. "==" is equal ... it is used for values. "===" is identical it is used to check if an object has the same type as the other...or just to check if 2 objects are identical.

Good Staff man! Much appreciated Tobias.... Have you done the Date Objective Task. The code is alright but I still get the bummer.

No I am not working with PHP so I dont really plan to do an course yet. Altough I know/read/watch enough to know a little bit about it. If you program a while you will get an idea about the code someone is posting, and will find what could be wrong (error handling is and experience which everyone will have to learn). But of course you can post you challange and I take a look at it.
