It's usefull for people who are new to PHP, but still want to optimize code a little.

Anyway, its your hack, your choice ;)

i've been programmig so long that i read || as OR its just as readable imo.

*wonders why my thread has become a php syntax discussion*

If you would like to make a comment, you should start with a '/*' and end with '*/', not just a '*':

/* You should really leave spaces around those comments too. */

So... lol... is this working for everyone? Sorry to bring this thread... umm... back on topic. :lol:

Good idea. You're right, shutdown queries don't show up on the microstats... hence I saw no difference when I installed this. :) That 1 query really doesn't make a huge difference considering what it's doing. But theoretically if you don't need that query, why have it there? :)

That could be said about a lot of code vbulletin has :)

ps. I tried this on a forums im workin with, has on average 2000+ online; it "did" cut down his load somewhat by the reduce in just that 1 query.

*wonders how many people have actually used this*

Surprised not that many... oO

I have it installed... it can't hurt.
