if statement using single | or &

[Swedie]

Can someone here find a page that explains the IF statement except for php.net because I found out lurking with code that the following works great:

if($_POST['something'] | $_POST['else'] == 1)

Before this I have posted this code:

if($_POST['something'] == 1 || $_POST['else'] == 1)

I have double checked that the function does what it is supposed to.

Where is a book / manual that explains this use of the if function?

hm...are you asking about the logical operator ||?

I've not seen the | operator.

And the | operator is covered in http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.bitwise.php
