comparison-operators

I recently studied some code that I'm supposed to use for different reasons, it's unrelevant. The thing I've noticed is someone using the operator "===" which I can't make sense out of. I've tried it with a function and it corresponds in crazy ways. The language is PHP by the way.

Does anyone know what the definition of this operator is, I can't even find it in the declaration of php operators.
