Your understanding of precedence is wrong. You've effectively said this: ($a = (3 && $b = 6)) if 1; The value of (3 && $b = 6) is the value of the last evaluated bit, $b=6. You have two options: 1. say "($a=3 and $b=3)" instead, because the precedence level of 'and' is different 2. use parentheses so that you don't have to memorize precedence I suggest 2, although learning precedence is good. -- rjbs
