#25189 [NEW]: Function lists in the manual showing the return type.

From: richard dot quadling at carval dot co dot uk Operating system: Any PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Function lists in the manual showing the return type. Description: ------------ At the moment, you get this ... Table of Contents aspell_check_raw -- Check a word without changing its case or trying to trim it [deprecated] aspell_check -- Check a word [deprecated] aspell_new -- Load a new dictionary [deprecated] aspell_suggest -- Suggest spellings of a word [deprecated] When would be REALLY useful is the return types and parameters. E.g. Table of Contents bool aspell_check_raw ( int dictionary_link, string word) -- Check a word without changing its case or trying to trim it [deprecated] bool aspell_check ( int dictionary_link, string word) -- Check a word [deprecated] int aspell_new ( string master [, string personal]) -- Load a new dictionary [deprecated] array aspell_suggest ( int dictionary_link, string word) -- Suggest spellings of a word [deprecated] Why? When you are looking for a function that returns a type you can see what it may be called as sometimes the names are not what you expect. NOTE: I used aspell as an example as it only had a few entries.
