No. &= is a bitwise operator while && means the logical AND operator. So
when you do $val &= TRUE, PHP is trying to do TRUE & TRUE, but since
bitwise operators only work with integers, TRUE is first coerced into
the integer 1. So the operation ends up as 1 & 1 yielding the integer 1.
Thus, $val = 1. The === operator checks the type of the operands which
are int and bool and thus not the same, while == tries to convert the
operands into something "comparable" and since they are both "truish"
the result is TRUE here.

Greetings,
Thomas
