I think warhog's note about the differing precedence between && / AND and || / OR is worth repeating. Since && and || evaluate before the assignment operator (=) while AND and OR evaluate after it, you can get COMPLETELY different results if you don't fully parenthesise. I cannot imagine when it would ever be important that those two pairs have differing precedence, but they do. And I just spent two hours discovering that the hard way because I broke my career-long rule: *Always fully parenthesise!* ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44988 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44988&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44988&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
