PHP often converts values between types automatically, a behavior known as type juggling. Could someone explain the rules that govern these conversions, especially when mixing strings, integers, and booleans? I’m curious about edge cases like non-numeric strings or comparisons with == versus ===. What are the common pitfalls developers encounter, and how can we avoid unexpected results in production code? Any examples would help.

I'm curious about how PHP internally handles the comparison of a non-numeric string with a number – what exact steps are taken during this process? Are there differences between == and === that can easily lead to unexpected results?
