TalkPHP - View Single Post - Comparison Operators

Hello Everyone,

I have just started learning php as my first programming language yesterday. I am following a tutorial at devzone.zend.com and just covered basic comparisons.
When I enter this code

Code:

<?php
$one = 1;
$two = 2;

$less = ($one < $two);
echo $less;
?>

I get the result of "1" instead of "true", and for "false" it doesn't show anything; just a blank.

My question: is this normal? Every tutorial I've looked at and even the php5 manual says it should result as a Boolean value.
Am I doing something wrong?

I am running xampp on windows vista x86. My other code on the page (simple addition) works fine.

Thank you in advance for your help.
