Bug #73217 [Opn->Nab]: Finally block not executed

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73217&edit=1 ID: 73217 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: thekid@php.net Summary: Finally block not executed -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 7.1.0RC3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The new behavior is correct. "return $r" is what determines the return value, and it is not relevant if $r is modified afterwards. Due to a bug this was not enforced previously in certain cases. (This applies also to by-reference returns in that the returned reference is fixed. This means that the value of the returned reference may still be changed, but it's not possible to reassign the reference itself.)
