WTF should this do? this won't return boolean
The reason it works is that 1) || coerces the operands into booleans (if they get to be evaluated) 2) htmlspecialchars returns "" on bad input sequence 3) (bool) "" === false But even if you didn't know these things, you should have bothered to at least test it before sending this response. -- Gustavo Lopes
