Doc #54331 [NEW]: Language construct functions

From: Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Language construct functions Description: ------------ Many times I read 'this is a language construct and not a function', but there is no list of all the language constructs on php.net. Sometimes I need to use language constructs dynamically and I am sure, more people would like to see a complete list of the language constructs on php.net. For example, I have a timer function, which executes one function and after a while, with negative result, executes another. I had to make a pf_exit($exit_code) function as it is also a language construct http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.exit.php Test script: --------------- /* Example functions for language constructs */ function pf_exit($exit_code) { exit($exit_code); } function pf_echo($to_echo) { echo $to_echo; } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54331&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54331&r=mysqlcfg
