ID: 34279 User updated by: csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Reported By: csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Status: Open Bug Type: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Perhaps so, but every single item that has "is a language construct" or "but a language construct" on the php.net site is reachable with the url short form. That list is part of: echo, print, die, exit, return, array, list, empty, isset, unset, include, include_once, require, require_once, throw, catch I included the additional throw, catch since some other web site stated that they were language constructs. Language constructs, as far as I could find, are not discussed on the PHP website at all except to say that a language construct cannot be passed as a (callback) function, or might not need parentheses. As far as almost any user is concerned for documentation lookup purposes, any distinction should be irrelevant. Furthermore, I would suggest that the other language constructs/keywords missing from such short form lookup should be upgraded. The idea is to make the excellent PHP documentation even more accessible.
