#22096 [NEW]: return inside a while loop isn't breaking the loop and returning a value

From: enygma@phpdeveloper.org Operating system: RedHat Linux PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: return inside a while loop isn't breaking the loop and returning a value Here's the code I'm working with: function getFilePath($filename,$path=''){ if(empty($path)){ $path=$this->basedir; } echo $path."<br>"; if($dir=@opendir($path)){ while(false!==($file=readdir($dir))){ if(!in_array($file,$this->remove_array)){ $file_path=$path."/".$file; if(is_file($file_path)){ if(strtolower($file)==strtolower($filename)){ $this->found_path=$file_path; return $file_path; } }elseif(is_dir($file_path)){ $this->getFilePath($filename,$file_path); } } } } closedir($dir); //return $this->found_path; } Where it starts in one dir, and goes until it finds a file - then, when it does, it's supposed to return that path value - but it doesn't. It keeps going through the rest of the directories without stopping at the "return" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22096&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22096&r=gnused
