note 129721 added to language.operators.precedence

The main use of "or" and "and" is that they have a lower precedence than "=", which is useful for error-handling, with short-circuiting. So, for example: $conn = pg_connect( ... ) or error_log ("Error, could not connect"); * If pg_connect() is successful, $conn contains the connection-object, and no error is logged. * If pg_connect() fails, an error is logged, but $conn is FALSE, as we would wish, even though the error_log() function is called, and returns true. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.5.137 (proxied: 83.151.202.231) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.precedence.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/129721 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129721/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129721/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129721/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129721/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129721/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129721/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129721 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/129721 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
