PHP: if ($day == 'Monday') or if ('Monday' == $day) Variable first or ?
I've asked this before, but would like to see what everyone thinks about it now.

I normally use if ($day == 'Monday'). The other way around just doesn't seem right to me.

Yeah, you want to know if it is an instance of something.

Honestly it doesnt matter. Either way you are going to get the true or false result. So it doesn't matter which but it has become a standard in almost all languages to do variable then comparison then what you are comparing.

It's interesting. I've been around awhile and never seen a programmer put the variable second in comparisons. It would work either way, I'm just wonding where you picked up that style of coding and what the logic behind it was?

Someone suggested that it was a better way to do it to for error checking reasons is where I picked it up.

Well the way I learned was placing variables first. It also makes it MUCH easier to an editor to read your code that way.
