Note Submitter: keikland ---- Had a tricky situation where the code with assert() worked fine in development, but not in production. The problem was when variables changed value as part of the assert test, for example: assert(5 === ++$i); This is valid PHP code, but caused havoc in production when the logic expected $i to have been incremented. A similar problem would exist with in-line assignments, such as: assert(!$i = sin($angle)); This is probably a very rare problem, but PHP should in principle throw an error in such cases. Hopefully that can be added in all maintained versions.
