Variable position in comparision in PHP

Question

Which is more optimized between 2 case below?

if ($var == 'value') {} 

and

if ('value' == $var) {}

Sorry if this is duplicated with another question but I can not google out the answer.

Thanks

There's no actual difference. The second one is used to defend yourself from typo if ($var = 'value') But not really readable. Use mostly the first one unless you are so tired that while typing you miss characters.

If you write code

if ($var = 'val') echo $var; //Output will be "val"

but if you do

if ('val' = $var) echo $var;

You'll get syntax error.
