Note Submitter: jordan at avacweb dot com ---- You can use the OR operator in a similar way to Javascript to return the last evaluated value. For instance, in Javascript is common to do: var x = foo || bar; Assigning x to bar when foo evaluates to false. In PHP you can do this in a similar manner like: <?php $foo or ($x = $bar); ?> Doing the same thing. Assigning $x to $bar, when $foo evaluates to false.
