Re: "!" in front of a variable?

Ooops.. I made the same mistake in my private reply.. hah.. = = = Original message = = = I took me a little while to notice that it wasn't a function declaration :p ~It's just as Jay said, it's calling "function" with those arguments, where '!$var2' extends to '!(bool)$var2' or "treat/cast this value as/to boolean, and pass it's inverted value" or "NOT $var2".
