Are there any potential pitfalls to be aware of when using logical operators such as && (AND) and || (OR) in PHP conditional statements?

One potential pitfall when using logical operators in PHP conditional statements is the concept of short-circuit evaluation. This means that if the first part of a logical expression is enough to determine the outcome, the second part may not be evaluated. To avoid unexpected behavior, ensure that the order of conditions and the use of parentheses are correct in complex expressions.

// Example of using parentheses to ensure correct evaluation order
if (($condition1 || $condition2) && $condition3) {
    // Code to execute if either condition1 or condition2 is true, and condition3 is true
}
