Won't this type of condition/test always return true?
I simplified the example. In my real life case the "foo" and "bar"
are variables which can be empty strings, and if they both are not, I
would like to display them.

Then why not use empty()?
$a = "foo";
$b = "bar";
if ( !empty($a) && !empty($b) ){
echo $a."<br />".$b;
}
The reason I ask is that what if one of your strings was a "0" (zero) I
would expect your code would not work as you had intended.
php -r 'if ( $a="foo" && $b="0" ) { echo "\n\n{$a}\n{$b}\n\n"; }'
In my testing, it does not. I would then have to ask, how often do you
think a string will be "0"?
