Doc #53290 [NEW]: Doc issue

From: Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Doc issue Description: ------------ If used and set to TRUE, var_export() will return the variable representation instead of outputing it. Note: This function uses internal output buffering with this parameter so it can not be used inside an ob_start() callback function. What does that Note: stand for? It already says on the param what it does. If nothing is sent to the output...then who is that note going to help? People passing that param already expect a certain behaviour, and are some trying to stay away from ob_start in the first place. --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.var-export#Parameters --- Test script: --------------- What test script?
