note 74622 added to language.operators.logical

Regardings the post of g dot vieri AT gmail dot com: It's actually the precedence that causes this effect: <?php $res = $a || $b; # is the same as $res = ($a || $b); ?> $a is true in this case, hence $res is true (short circuit). <?php $res = $a or $b; # is the same as ($res = $a) or $b; ?> The value of the assignment is the assigned value itself, which is 'test' (as is the new value of $res). Since 'test' evaluates to true as well, $b isn't executed anymore (short circuit, just as above) - besides: $b is a statement without any effect anyway. ---- Server IP: 129.16.214.50 Probable Submitter: 212.202.36.235 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.logical.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74622 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74622/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74622/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74622/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74622/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74622/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74622/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74622 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74622 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
