ID: 12630 Updated by: andrey@php.net Reported By: joustin at plusnet dot pl -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Red Hat Linux, Win2000 sp2 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Quite wierd. Use the workaround. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-07 14:17:40] alindeman@php.net I'll make this a feature request/change... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-07 14:15:13] joustin at plusnet dot pl BOGUS ? The above is just a workaround... I've used it, though it's the only reasonable way to code some routines. But it's quite a LONG workaround and makes the code quite obfuscated and unclear... not mentioning possible performance losses. Any plans to implement that ? (haven't seen the php source yet, but I could imagine that preety simple to implement) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-07 14:04:59] alindeman@php.net this is not implemented in php if you want to try something like that try... if (!test())return; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-07 13:59:07] joustin at plusnet dot pl Tested on Red Hat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-07 13:54:44] joustin at plusnet dot pl Hello! This seems quite odd... In the ... function() or dosomething; ...construct it seems that PHP only allows the usage of standard operators and functions in the place of "dosomething", so the 'return' doesn't work at all since it's a operator-like thingy. The following snippet will produce a parse error: ---------------------- function test(){ return false; }; function test2(){ test() or return; } ---------------------- Thanks in advance for a quick fix :) Keep up the good work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12630&edit=1
