Instead of now: (a or b) => bool(true) if either of a or b are true (a and b) => bool(true) is either of a or b are true Behave as: (a or b) => Value of a if true, b if a is not true but b is, bool(false) otherwise. (a and b) => Value of b if both are true, bool(false) otherwise. Coincidentally, this change to T_LOGICAL_AND would server OP's purpose. I'll tell ya, I'm leaning "No" because BC, but at the same time, AND/OR seem to be underutilized constructs and I *suspect* (having done zero research), that most existing uses would yield the same result as they do now. -Sara
