I am having trouble understanding the behavior of the 'and' PHP operator.
Here is the code:
$condition1 = true;
$var2 = "var2";
$var3 = "var3";
$condition2 = $condition1 and $var2 == $var3;
if($condition2)
echo '$condition1 and $var2 == $var3';
Output: $condition1 and $var2 == $var3
Now it is obvious that since $var2 != $var3, $condition2 should be false. Hence the echo statement should not be executed but it happens the other way. Can any one tell me what's wrong with this code?
