What are the potential pitfalls of using XOR in PHP conditional statements?

Using XOR in PHP conditional statements can lead to unexpected behavior if the operands are not strictly boolean values. To avoid this, make sure to explicitly compare boolean values when using XOR in conditionals. This can be done by converting non-boolean values to boolean using the double negation operator (!!) or by using the strict comparison operator (===) to compare the operands. 

// Example of using XOR with boolean operands
$condition1 = true;
$condition2 = false;

if ($condition1 xor $condition2) {
    // Code block executed if only one condition is true
}
