If before a command

[seanpaulcail]

Does "if" before a command keep the command from executing or does the command still execute?

For example:

"if( insert_order($HTTP_POST_VARS)!=false )
{ some code that gets executed if above isn't false}

Does "insert_order($HTTP_POST_VARS)" automatically get executed?
It must, I think because it not previously called anywhere in the code.

I need a second opinion.

Thank you very much

Yes, insert_order() will always be executed.

Where it can get to be a bit tricky is when you have multiple conditions
if (test1() || test2()) {
}

If test1() returns a non-zero value then test2() will NOT be executed.
