[PHP] Do PHP boolean operators short circuit?

2003-09-19 Thread Dan Anderson
I am learning perl and my book describes boolean short circuiting.

Basically:

function1() OR function2();

(function2 never is evaluated if function1 is true).

Will this work in PHP for any function?  

Thanks in advance,

-Dan

Yes.

From my experience, it will work that way. I don't know if it's that 
way for every version or not, though.

Same thing for AND, too...

function1() AND function2()

If function1() comes out FALSE, then function2() isn't evaluated.
