Note Submitter: andreas dot kurtz at urz dot uni-heidelberg dot de ---- Yes, it's correct, that the order doesn't matter. But in the case of switching the parameters of comparison, mainly in complex expressions easy comprehensibility is no longer assured. <?php if(100 < $age) {} if($age > 100) {} // much easier to retrace // and even in possible problems of assignment if(MONDAY == $weekday) {} // is the following use obviously more understandable if($weekday == MONDAY) {} // even in simple examples - so imagine a more complicated one ?> I prefer to compare as shown in the documentation to keep the semantic understandability as easy as possible.
