I knew that they we're not exactly the same due to order of precedence, but
I ran Robbert's code snippet and found that my assumptions about the outcome incorrect!

my assumption was that '=' had lower precedence that 'and' ... somehow that felt right,
obviously I was wrong.

it took me a few seconds to see the error of my ways :-) maybe there are other
that are confused ... maybe the output of following little snippet might help to clarify:

<?php

    $true  = true;
    $false = false;

    $test1 = $true && $false;
    $test5 = ($test2 = $true and $false);
    $test3 = ($true && $false);
    $test4 = ($true and $false);

    var_dump($test1, $test2, $test3, $test4, $test5);

?>

thanks to Robbert for the brainteaser ;-)
