#41700 [NEW]: documentation not clear about "whatever() or return;"

From: looris at gmail dot com Operating system: Irrilevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: documentation not clear about "whatever() or return;" Description: ------------ I came across this: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40712 here's what iliaa wrote: +++++ Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php +++++ now, I guess that you can't do "..or return.." because return isn't a function, ok, but, reading the documentation, nothing related to this sort of thing is ever mentioned in these related articles: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.return.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.returning-values.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.logical.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.functions.php Maybe this thing is explained somewhere in the docs, but it seems a little awkward to me that it doesn't appear on none of these related articles. I think this kind of thing does really need to be mentioned somewhere in these places. If this is not a documentation bug, i don't know what is. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41700&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41700&r=mysqlcfg
