Haven't found anything in the documentation which describes this behavior. If it's not a bug, it's very counterintuitive. Reproduce code: --------------- This works: function foo() { 0 or die("bla"); } This produces a syntax error: function bar() { 0 or return ("bla"); } Expected result: ---------------- I would expect bar() to return bla Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_RETURN ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40712&edit=1
