I think the question is a rather simple one and applies not just to me but it applies to the entire PHP language.
This is VERY fundamental and it's not essential in learning PHP to know what this is called if it indeed has a name at all. But some people that, including me obviously, like to be able to understand these very fundamental questions.
I will use an example "if (conditional) statement" to illustrate the question.
if (!$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql)) {
echo 'FAILED';
}
As you see here the result of the mysqli_query function is stored inside the $result variable while the function and the variable rest inside of a conditional statement.
That is my question, as always, thank you for reading and your answers or criticisms are both welcomed and appreciated.
