it was not about 1.1 and 1.01 but 1.10 should be bigger than 1.1 (which is
the same if you do == )
this can be solved if you split the version string and compare each part
(explode() )


the result on my php (5.2.1) is: "see, 5.00504 is smaller than 5.6 like i
> said" and "see, they 1.1 is not equal to 1.01"
