Note Submitter: jeffjeffleelee at hotmail dot com ---- @zhustar: I will verify the following: <?php $a = false xor true; var_dump($a); // bool(false) $a = (false xor true); var_dump($a); // bool(true) ?> At first I thought this was some egregious bug, and then I realized that this is merely an issue of operator precedence. English-word boolean operators have relatively low precedence--in fact they take place after assignment. So the first example assigns false to $a, and then does an xor operation on $a and boolean true.
