Simple php question... I have a conditional like this: echo $result = $a or $b;. It works fine. But if I use || instead of or, it echoes 1. What is happening here?

Never mind, it's more complicated than I thought.

@JackJohansson I wouldn't include both an echo and an = in the same statement

too many things on 1 line

I'm assuming it's 1 because of the assignment

@TomJNowell It was actually a return statement that would either return a value or die()

too many things on 1 line

try to follow the 1 statement per line rule

and wrap boolean logic in () so it's clearer

Familiarizing myself with more complex lines, seeing everyday

Amazon devs take it so hard that I can barely understand their 1 line code

Not to mention putting a page of code after a single return statement
