What is the role of the T_IS_EQUAL operator in PHP and how is it causing an issue in the script?

The T_IS_EQUAL operator in PHP is used for comparing two values without performing type conversion. If the script is encountering an issue related to the T_IS_EQUAL operator, it could be due to unintended type comparison. To solve this issue, you can replace the T_IS_EQUAL operator with the strict comparison operator (===) to ensure that both the value and type are being compared. 

// Incorrect usage of T_IS_EQUAL operator causing an issue
$value1 = 5;
$value2 = "5";

if ($value1 == $value2) {
    echo "Values are equal.";
} else {
    echo "Values are not equal.";
}

// Corrected code using strict comparison operator
$value1 = 5;
$value2 = "5";

if ($value1 === $value2) {
    echo "Values are equal.";
} else {
    echo "Values are not equal.";
}
