Sadly the operators to use are not consistent across languages. This article summarises the most common operators for the key web development languages:

  • Javascript
  • ASP
  • PHP
  • SQL

For SQL we checked both mySQL and MS SQL. All operators listed here should work in both.

Comparison

Operator Javascript ASP PHP SQL
Less than < < < <
Less than or equal to <= <= <= <=
Greater than > > > >
Greater than or equal to >= >= >= >=
Equal to == = == (equal)
=== (identical)		 =
Not equal to != <> != (not equal)
<> (not equal)
!== (not identical)		 <>

Testing for “identical” in PHP arrived with PHP 4. Two values are identical if they are the same, and the same type. Eg the values “1″ (a string) and 1 (an integer) are equal but not identical.

Logical

Operator Javascript ASP PHP SQL
AND && AND &&
AND		 AND
OR || OR ||
OR		 OR
NOT ! NOT ! NOT

PHP provides two options for AND and OR with different operator precedences. Refer to the PHP manual: Operator Precedence for details.
