ID: 50730 Updated by: rquadling@php.net Reported By: dave at deltatns dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: wamp PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: The default is clearly identified in the description. mixed print_r ( mixed $expression [, bool $return = false ] ) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-12 15:43:34] dave at deltatns dot com Description: ------------ in the print_r section called Parameters: I would suggest changing "If this parameter is set to TRUE, print_r() will return its output, instead of printing it (which it does by default). " to "...its output ( return=false, the default setting will print it)" or some other phrase to remove the ambiguity of what the default might be. I am slower than most people. It took me 15 seconds or so to not read the above with the meaning true will print it. very low priority and maybe not worth doing...just FYI of my read of it. The manual is a really valuable resource,which I use constantly. I am very grateful to all who have contributed and worked on it. Thanks Dave Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: function.print-r#Parameters --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50730&edit=1
