or die

[brentmoeller]

In theory would these two code snippets give the same results ?

 

 

if ((!isset($_GET['id']) || trim($_GET['id']) == '')) or die('missing data');

 

 

if ((!isset($_GET['id']) || trim($_GET['id']) == '')) 
{ 
  die('missing data'); 
}

not to be a rude or anything but did you try it? the best way to test a theory is by putting it in practice. Also you can just do:

 

if (!isset($_GET['id']) || trim($_GET['id']) == '') die('missing data');

The syntax of the first one is a little messed up.  But when used correctly, you can use "or die" in the same way as you would use an "if".  I would expect the same results when using either approach, but you need to invert the condition, because "or die" triggers on false, but "if" triggers on true.

or is also lower in precedence than || but it shouldn't make any difference in this case.
