#8954 — Have I been staring at the screen too long?

I ran across this line that is apparently generated by Dreamweaver
CS4's function for checking authorization for page access. Doesn't the
content of the 'if' clause ALWAYS evaluate to false regardless of the
value of $strUsers? 

    if (($strUsers == "") && false) { $isValid = true; } 

If so, is there some obscure purpose anyone can think of for this
line?

Another good reason not to use Dreamweaver.

At first glance it looks like it is taking something that would 
otherwise be false and making evaluate to true.

Yes, ($b && false) is always false, ($b || false) is always $b.

/Str.

Certainly right.  Now that I look at the logical operator, it will 
always be false no matter the comparison and the if statement will never 
be executed.

Strange code.

according to the link posted abobe, its so the false can be toggled to 
rue easily by Dreamweaver.

I spent two days turning dreamweaver code into respectable HTML, got it 
down from 40k to 3k..

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to 
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the 
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are 
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a 
diminishing number of producers.

I think you are right, DW used many coding 'wizards' with several options.

Yeah I remember using DW when Macromedia had it and it did add a great 
deal of 'one size fits all' coding.

Maybe this can shed some light, a few ideas about it.
