#20266 [NEW]: Logical OR fails if results of two methods are evaluated

From: tim@afeindustries.com Operating system: W2K PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Logical OR fails if results of two methods are evaluated Dear PHP TEAM, Thanks for such a great product. This baby makes our day, every day! We have recently found one strange thing. When we need to LOGICALLY-OR the results of two boolean methods of a class, PHP bypasses execution of the second method (if first method returns TRUE). Since the second method is never executed we can not get the desired result. Please, take a look at the body of the CONSTRUCTOR below: //---- BEGINNING OF FILE 'sample.php' class CSample { function CSample() { echo 'Some news are here:<br>'; // Below, PHP actually doesn't // runs $this->logicalTwo() if( $this->logicalOne() || $this->logicalTwo() ) { echo '<br>What more do you want?'; // .. } } // SERVICE METHODS function logicalOne() { //.. echo ' GOT CAR '; return true; } function logicalTwo() { //.. echo ' GOT MONEY '; return true; } }; // Instantiating the class $object1 = new CSample(); //---- END OF FILE 'sample.php' OUTPUT: Some news are here: GOT CAR What more do you want? See, there is no 'GOT MONEY' text printed. Please advise. Is this the correct behavior or something is not working right.
