Req #71098 [NEW]: "return" can't be used after "or"

From: admin at mvpro dot net Operating system: Any PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:"return" can't be used after "or" Description: ------------ "return" can't be used after "or". I think it's strange because "die" for example can be used after "or". Test script: --------------- <?php function connect() { mysql_connect('localhost', '', '') or return false; return 1; } $connect = connect(); if( $connect == 1) echo 'Successfully connected'; else echo 'Connect failed!'; Expected result: ---------------- Connect failed! Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'return' (T_RETURN) on line 5 https://3v4l.org/3qAYN -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71098&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71098&r=mysqlcfg
