#24366 [NEW]: Declaring a function without () produces no output

From: fmaillet at vizfx dot ca Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Declaring a function without () produces no output Description: ------------ I'm not sure if this is a bug but I think there should be an error message. When you declare a function and don't add () before the {, you get no output at all, not even an error message. I posted an exemple of code. I know I'm not calling the function but something should happen. Either "This is a test" being printed or an error concerning the function declaration. Reproduce code: --------------- <? echo "This is a test<br>"; function MyFunction { echo "This is an other test"; } ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24366&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24366&r=gnused
