PHP "if()" construct: can conditionals nest?

Is it possible to do something like this in a php if statement:

if($a == '1' || ($b == '2' && $c == '3')) echo "foo walks into a bar";

(also, is the title of my question phrased correctly?)

They absolutely can! I think it'd be called something like a "multiple condition if()" statement.

Yes, as $a == '1' || ($b == '2' && $c == '3') evaluates into a Boolean expression. Think of || and && as mathematical operators, and you can apply brackets to them to alter their order of operations.

Think you might need to bracket up the first condition:

if(($a == '1') || ($b == '2' && $c == '3')) echo "foo walks into a bar";
