note 81477 added to language.operators.logical

Re:Richard I show $b printing 1 rather than "banana". Here's how I understand what's going on. <?php //"||" has a greater precedence than "or" $a=0 or $a="avocado"; //evaluated as ($a=0) or ($a="avacado") //Since $a=0 is false, $a="avocado" is evaluated and $a is assigned the string value "avocado". echo "$a"; //prints "avocado" var_dump ($a); // string(7) "avocado" $b=0 || $b="banana"; // evaluated as $b = (0 || $b = "banana") echo $b; //prints "1" var_dump ($b); // bool(true) ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 72.193.185.164 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.logical.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81477 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81477/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81477/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81477/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81477/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81477/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81477/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81477 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81477 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
