I've stumbled upon the following code:

!$a && $a = 42;

Apparently, this is meant instead of

if (!$a) $a = 42;

or

!$a AND $a = 42;

However, I am quite confused that it works because the = operator has
lower precendence than the && operator[1]. Actually that should mean
the statement is equivalent to

(!$a && $a) = 42;

But this obviously won't work.

Why does the mentioned statement has the "expected" result? Is it
reliable to write it that way?
