Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-27 13:46:59] fmaillet at vizfx dot ca 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24366&edit=1
