Just play with it and you will discover more. Cheers! This is another simple if condition.

$var = "nothing";
(true) && $var = "true";
echo $var;

Meaning using && you are expecting the return of the condition to be true; If the condition is false it will not substitute the new value.


$var = "nothing";
(false) || $var = "false";
echo $var;

Using || you are expecting the return of the condition to be false; If the condition is true it will not substitute the new value.

Hope this helps on optimizing conditions. Just play with it and you will discover more. Cheers!

In working with a lot of javascript lately, I realized the shorthand for conditional logic is pretty much identical. So there is another statement you could add to this list- An 'if' statement with no else can be written like this without the curly braces:<code>if ($myVar) echo "$myVar is true";</code> I’ve been referring back to this post a lot, thanks!

Anyway.. if you look at the source you can see it commented out or maybe David can fix it. Hmm apparently you can’t show php tags in the code tags.

Is any chance to short it? Hi, I have this code:

$r = myfunction($param) ;
