title: php finding results when plus sign involved
body: <p>I have a line of code that scans a dataset:</p>
  
  <p>dataset:</p>
  
  <pre><code>+117251093918
  +1174418217128
  0112347063455555
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>php line of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code> if (substr($row['someData'],0,3) == "011")
   {
      //do stuff
   }
  
  +117251093918
  +1174418217128
  0112347063455555
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would expect to find 1 result in this dataset, however all 3 results are found according to php.  any thoughts as to why?</p>
