Re: Lazy evaluation?

SHWLHAP! (Sound of dead fish hitting me in the side of the head.) Of course - if the first condition is false, PHP doesn't bother to evaluate the second argument. I was thinking that if the first condition is true I don't want evaluation to stop there. Miles At 08:18 AM 1/16/2002 -0700, mike cullerton wrote:

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want lazy evaluation on a conditional statement involving "and". i'm new to all this stuff, so i'll bite. hopefully someone can explain what i'm missing. if i have a statement like if (($a == 'a') && ($b == 'b')) blahblahblah(); and, $a != 'a'. why should php even look at the value for $b while evaluating this line? shouldn't the if fail after evaluating $a? thanks, mike -- mike cullerton michaelc at cullerton dot com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
