it's basically a confusing if else
if ($one == $two) { return 1 } else { return 0 }

Probably because they have some prejudice that the ternary ?: should
never be used. (Maybe that it leads to unmaintainable code.)
Interestingly, while this snippet does what the author wanted, I'm
pretty sure how it does it is completely different than they expect.
It's actually equivalent to
if ($one == $two or return 0) {
return 1;
}
right?
