PHP Logical Operators

🚀 What Are Logical Operators?

Logical operators allow you to combine multiple conditions and return either true or false.

1️⃣ AND Operator (&&) – All Must Be True ✅

Both conditions must be true for the result to be true. If one is false, the whole thing is false!

<?php
    $age = 25;
    $hasDrivingLicense = true;

    if ($age >= 18 && $hasDrivingLicense) {
        echo "You can drive! 🚗";
    } else {
        echo "Sorry, you can't drive yet. 😞";
    }
?>
    

2️⃣ OR Operator (||) – At Least One Must Be True 🎯

If one condition is true, the result is true! Only false if both are false.

<?php
    $hasCoupon = true;
    $isVIP = false;

    if ($hasCoupon || $isVIP) {
        echo "You get a discount! 🎉";
    } else {
        echo "Sorry, no discount today. 😞";
    }
?>
    

3️⃣ NOT Operator (!) – Flip It! 🔄

Turns true into false and false into true! Think of it as a “reverse switch”.

<?php
    $isSleeping = false;

    if (!$isSleeping) {
        echo "Time to get some rest! 😴";
    } else {
        echo "You're already sleeping! 💤";
    }
?>
    

4️⃣ XOR Operator (Exclusive OR) – Only One Can Be True 🧐

Returns true if only one condition is true. If both are true or both are false, it returns false.

<?php
    $hasCar = true;
    $hasBike = true;

    if ($hasCar xor $hasBike) {
        echo "You have only one ride! 🚗🚲";
    } else {
        echo "Either you have both or none! 😅";
    }
?>
    

🎯 Recap – Logical Operators in Action

• AND (&&) → All conditions must be true.
• OR (||) → At least one condition must be true.
• NOT (!) → Reverses the condition.
• XOR → Only one condition must be true.
