Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69308&edit=1 ID: 69308 Updated by: tpunt@php.net Reported by: cmb@php.net Summary: return description misleading -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: * PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: tpunt Block user comment: N Private report: N Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-18 21:32:06] tpunt@php.net I've resolved this by changing "statement" to "expression", since control of execution will always be passed back into an expression context: "Execution resumes at the expression following the called module's invocation."

Execution | resumes at the statement following the called module's invocation. Consider a compound expression, where return will not cause execution to resume with the next *statement*, but rather with the next (not necessarily lexically, but rather in order of evaluation precedence) *expression*: echo my_trim('hello') . my_trim('world'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69308&edit=1
