if statement with multiple or condition

Question

Consider the following code

if (  stripos($a,'something1')===0 || stripos($a,'something2')===0  ) {
        return '';
}

Is there a performance benefit for using in_array or does php stops testing if first condition evaluate to true ?

Yes PHP does stop if the first one is true during the short circuit evaluation, which PHP has — Rizier123, Jun 29 '15 at 15:49
@Rizier123 ...Thanks for reminding me of the term `short circuit evaluation`.Suppose that that i had like 3-7 more `stripos` in the condition , will there be any performance benefit in using in_array — user2650277, Jun 29 '15 at 16:10
