Note Submitter: user at example dot net ---- Be careful when using print. Since print is a language construct and not a function, the parentheses around the argument is not required. In fact, using parentheses can cause confusion with the syntax of a function and SHOULD be omited. Most would expect the following behavior: <?php if (print("foo") && print("bar")) { // "foo" and "bar" have been printed } ?> But since the parenthesis around the argument are not required, they are interpretet as part of the argument. This means that the argument of the first print is ("foo") && print("bar") and the argument of the second print is just ("bar") For the expected behavior of the first example, you need to write: <?php if ((print "foo") && (print "bar")) { // "foo" and "bar" have been printed } ?>
