Actually, the = operator takes precedence over the OR operator, so the
reason i = q1 OR q2 doesn't work is because the q2 variable is not a boolean.

You can try it yourself, like:

Function Test(x, y, bool)
     If x = y Or bool Then
         Test = True
     Else
         Test = False
     End If
End Function

In PHP, a variable evaluates to true if it's not null, an empty string, or
0, so therefore the statement if (i == q1 || q2) will return true if i is
equal to q1 or if q2 is not null, not an empty string, and not zero.
