I think you still need to practice more on your own.

<code><?php
$time1 = microtime(true);
$a = $b = 'hello,world!';
$i = $j = 100000000;
while($i>0){
    $i--;
    if($a==$b) ;
}
$time2 = microtime(true);
while($j>0){
    $j--;
    if(strcmp($a,$b));
}
$time3 = microtime(true);

echo ($time2 - $time1)."\n";
echo ($time3 - $time2);

//result
//$ php demo.php
//1.9449820518494
//7.9897949695587
</code>

It is definitely == that is more efficient, because the operator saves memory than function calls.
