Hi there,

I was actually wondering why - we also use && instead of & when combining to expressions like:

PHP Code:


			
if($a == $b && $b == $c)

So I made a simple script to check out what an simple & would do:

PHP Code:


			
<?php 

$a = 'a' & 'b';

echo $a;

 ?>

What the script gives out is the following:

´

Could someone explain why I get that funny result? And when to use a single &

thx 4 reading :)

Ou yeah and a function with a single & seems to work too:

PHP Code:


			
if(1 == 1 & 2 == 2) echo 'funzt';
