another topic though related to the previous post.
How do IF behave in php?
Say,
if( $goahead && copy($somefile1 , $somefile2) )
echo "hello world";
What if $goahead is false, will the if the fall, or test all of the
statements?
I can make a complex if system, but eventuallt I can keep it simple
here...

In PHP, failure of $goahead will mean copy() is not checked/executed in
this case.

Well, short from a programmers standpoint indeed. Being more verbose often
doesn't hurt though, and makes code somewhat more flexible/debuggable.
Depends on the actual need offcourse.

PHP uses lazy evaluation. As soon as the result is known, the evaluation
stops. Because of this behaviour you can write things like
$rs = mysql_query(... ) or die(...);

PHP uses lazy evaluation. As soon as the result is known, the evaluation
stops. Because of this behaviour you can write things like
more pragmatic than lazy. if one condition is false, there is no possible
way other &&'ed conditions could change that result...so, why continue the
evaluation?
most languages do it this way. of those that i've used, vb was the only one
that continued to blindly evaluate conditions. it wasn't until vb.net that
the AndAlso and OrElse short-circuit constructs were added - 'short-circuit'
being even more descriptive than 'lazy' or 'pragmatic'.

Correct, and one common name for that technique is "lazy evaluation" (or
"delayed evaluation"): the result of an expression is only calculated if
and when it's really necessary.

AFAIK "short-circuit" is more related to logical expressions, whereas
"lazy evaluation" is the more general name and applies to many other
things as well.

hmmm...i didn't know that. first i'd heard of lazy eval.

Well I would think the same way, but as you wrote, once tried VB one
knows, that one has to be careful...
There are really a lot of languages and scripts out there, so better
safe than not.
As for debugging/reading of code - this can really minimise code, and
by that give a better overview. Some may think it is a bit harder to
read, but I rather have a few lines of code than 3 screens of it.

Hello,
I am using MyODBC from VB and I want to submit a batch of insert statements
in one call from my App. This is more efficient than making multiple calls
from code because of the communication overhead.
If I send a batch multiple statements separated by ; or ; + newline I get
syntax errors pointing at the start of the next statement..
If I fire each statement one at a time with the ; at the end there's no
problem.

HOWTO Run multiple SQL statements from ASP/ADO to an Oracle 10g.

I'm used to a UNLOAD command that allows me to dump to a named flat
