The basic difference for another test, where conditions are both true are :
<?php
$a = 4;
$b = 3;
echo ('($a | $b))' . ($a | $b) . '<br>'); //7
echo ('($a || $b))' . ($a || $b) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($b | $a)' . ($b | $a) . '<br>'); //7
echo ('($b || $a)' . ($b || $a) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($a | $a)'. ($a | $a) . '<br>'); //4
echo ('($a || $a)' . ($a || $a) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($b | $b)' . ($b | $b) . '<br>'); //3
echo ('($b || $b)' . ($b || $b) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($a & $b))' . ($a & $b) . '<br>'); //0
<-------------------------------------------
echo ('($a && $b))' . ($a && $b) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($b & $a)' . ($b & $a) . '<br>'); //0
<-------------------------------------------
echo ('($b && $a)' . ($b && $a) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($a & $a)'. ($a & $a) . '<br>'); //4
echo ('($a && $a)' . ($a && $a) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($b & $b)' . ($b & $b) . '<br>'); //3
echo ('($b && $b)' . ($b && $b) . '<br>'); //1
?>
<?php
$a = 2;
$b = 3;
echo ('($a | $b))' . ($a | $b) . '<br>'); //3
echo ('($a || $b))' . ($a || $b) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($b | $a)' . ($b | $a) . '<br>'); //3
echo ('($b || $a)' . ($b || $a) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($a | $a)'. ($a | $a) . '<br>'); //2
echo ('($a || $a)' . ($a || $a) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($b | $b)' . ($b | $b) . '<br>'); //3
echo ('($b || $b)' . ($b || $b) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($a & $b))' . ($a & $b) . '<br>'); //2 <----------------------------
echo ('($a && $b))' . ($a && $b) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($b & $a)' . ($b & $a) . '<br>'); //2 <-----------------------------
echo ('($b && $a)' . ($b && $a) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($a & $a)'. ($a & $a) . '<br>'); //2
echo ('($a && $a)' . ($a && $a) . '<br>'); //1
echo ('($b & $b)' . ($b & $b) . '<br>'); //3
echo ('($b && $b)' . ($b && $b) . '<br>'); //1
?>
When the one of the operators were 2, the cases with "<------------"
returns 2 otherwise returns 0 (Or 1 when any operator is 1). And if
the operators are 1 and 2, return 0 too. Its curious for me.
