I ran across this line that is apparently generated by Dreamweaver
CS4's function for checking authorization for page access. Doesn't the
content of the 'if' clause ALWAYS evaluate to false regardless of the
value of $strUsers?
if (($strUsers == "") && false) { $isValid = true; }
If so, is there some obscure purpose anyone can think of for this
line?

Another good reason not to use Dreamweaver.

At first glance it looks like it is taking something that would
otherwise be false and making evaluate to true.

Yes, ($b && false) is always false, ($b || false) is always $b.
/Str.

Certainly right. Now that I look at the logical operator, it will
always be false no matter the comparison and the if statement will never
be executed.
Strange code.

according to the link posted abobe, its so the false can be toggled to
rue easily by Dreamweaver.
I spent two days turning dreamweaver code into respectable HTML, got it
down from 40k to 3k..

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

I think you are right, DW used many coding 'wizards' with several options.
Yeah I remember using DW when Macromedia had it and it did add a great
deal of 'one size fits all' coding.
