#46608 [NEW]: Return() Not Documented Correctly

From: php at info-svc dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Return() Not Documented Correctly Description: ------------ I'm reporting a documentation comment that was rejected but should be valid. "Note that since return() is a language construct and not a function, the parentheses surrounding its arguments are not required." Far from optional, the parentheses actually cause an error when used as described in the documentation regarding include/require. Reproduce code: --------------- test1.php <?php require 'test2.php'; ?> test2.php <?php return(); ?> Actual result: -------------- PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in test2.php on line 1 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46608&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46608&r=mysqlcfg
