Ideas in this flowchart

  • PHP supports logical operators and applies precedence rules to evaluate combined expressions.
  • PHP supports three basic logical operators.
  • not (!): logical negation.
  • and (&&): logical conjunction.
  • or (||): logical disjunction.
  • Operator precedence determines the order in which operators are evaluated.
  • The precedence rules include assignment, arithmetic, comparison, and logical operators.
  • A statement containing several operators must be evaluated according to their precedence.
  • Example: ($b*$b < 4*$a*$c || $a === 0 || $argc != 4).
  • Table 38.1 summarizes the precedence order from highest to lowest.
  • Highest: ++ and --, evaluated left-to-right.
  • - and !, evaluated right-to-left as unary operators.
  • *, /, and %, evaluated left-to-right.
  • + and -, evaluated left-to-right.
  • <, <=, >, and >=, evaluated left-to-right.
  • ==, !=, ===, and !==, evaluated left-to-right.
  • &&, evaluated left-to-right.
  • ||, evaluated left-to-right.
  • Lowest: =, +=, -=, *=, and /=, evaluated right-to-left.
  • Operators on the same level have equivalent precedence and follow the specified associative order.
  • The table is not an exhaustive list of all PHP operators.
  • Equality and inequality operators can produce Boolean results.
  • $r = ($a === $b); produces false.
  • $r = ($a !== $b); produces true.

"The three basic logical operators, not !, and &&, and or || are also supported in PHP. At this point it is worth summarizing the order of precedence of all the operators that we’ve seen so far including assignment, arithmetic, comparison, and logical. Since all of these operators could be used in one statement, for example, ($b*$b < 4*$a*$c || $a === 0 || $argc != 4) it is important to understand the order in which each one gets evaluated. Table 38.1 summarizes the order of precedence for the operators seen so far. This is not an exhaustive list of PHP operators.\n\nTable 38.1.: Operator Order of Precedence in PHP\n\nHighest: ++, -- — left-to-right; increment operators\n\n-, ! — right-to-left; unary negation operator, logical not\n\n*, /, % — left-to-right\n\n+, - — left-to-right; addition, subtraction\n\n<, <=, >, >= — left-to-right; comparison\n\n==, !=, ===, !== — left-to-right; equality, inequality\n\n&& — left-to-right; logical And\n\n|| — left-to-right; logical Or\n\nLowest: =, +=, -=, *=, /= — right-to-left; assignment and compound assignment operators\n\nOperators on the same level have equivalent order and are performed in the associative order specified.\n\n$r = ($a === $b); //false\n\n$r = ($a !== $b); //true"
