<p>I have noticed that a lot of PHP code uses conditional statements like CONST == VARIABLE. I grew up with the syntax always articulated in reverse. Is there a reason for this structure? </p>

<p>Example:</p>

<pre><code> // this is the way I see it most typically represented in PHP
 if ( false == $foobar ) { // do this }

 // this is the way I normally do it
 if ( $foobar == false ) { // do this }
</code></pre>
