so the one thing I'd like to confirm is the following.. if(is_array($cat)) //is saying if $cat is an array

then pass then pass whats inside the if {} not else...right? So it is literally saying pass it as true if $cat is an array..which we make it an array down below.

Yes. If $cat is an array, the conditional statement will evaluate to "true" which will execute the code in the statement. You can then do whatever you like with the array and return the result.
