Here's a little test script:
--------------------
$x = 2;
$y = 10;
$b1 = is_null($x) or ($y > 5);
$b2 = ($y > 5) or is_null($x);
var_dump($b1);
var_dump($b2);
--------------------
Obviously, it should be false for both $b1 and $b2, but the output is:
bool(false)
bool(true)
Is this a bug? I tried dumping values of two expressions, they are both
boolean and correct value. Tried assigning values to two temp vars and
then or-ing these two, and that gave correct results.
I really cannot see what am I doing wrong. Tried this with php 4.3.2 and
4.3.9, and I get these weird results both times.
Maybe I should herd cattle or something :)
