        Hi all. Maybe I'm just getting confused by all the languages I'm trying 
to work with! But, isn't:

if(!$var1 == $var2){

the same thing as

if($var1 != $var2){

        #1 doesn't work, #2 does.
        Thanks!

No.

The second is seeing if $var1 is not equal to $var2.

The first one is doing a "not $var1" is equal to $var2 - which will change it from whatever it is into false. (It's currently set - so that's true, you're switching that - so it becomes false).

$ cat test.php
<?php

$a = 5;
var_dump($a);
$b = !$a;
var_dump($b);


$ php test.php
int(5)
bool(false)


So the "not $var1" becomes false.
