PHP4 has always parsed the whole script, and will probably remain doing so. The issue here is that a functiondefinition isn't put in the function table until the function definition is executed. This allows conditional function declaration. Zeev's bugfix fixed bug 9884 by changing semantics of return, by making 'return'-ing from a script simply not possible anymore. > Does it look past an exit? It looks past everything, but _return_ in the body of a script is ignored, but exit isn't. Using exit, nothing changed. Only return changed. --Jeroen
