Yep. Just make sure you dont start speaking english like that,
people will look at you funny, or think your yoda :)
if ('away' == $put_your_weapon) {
$harm = false;
}
/* Away put your weapon, I mean you no harm */
or
if ( 'help' == $you_can ) {
hmm();
}
/* Help you can, Hmm! */
Or more popular:
if ($do || false == $do ) {
try();
}
/* Do, or do not. There is no try. */
