note 105977 added to function.return

@Radu 1) Your script won't print anything because you don't call any of your functions. 2) The results aren't unexpected. Not a little bit. It has nothing to do with the array declaration. Function a() only returns element 'e' of the array. Why should anybody expect to get the whole array? It makes no sense. <?php function a() { return $a['e'] = 'sometxt'; } function b() { $a['e'] = 'sometxt'; return $b = $a; } function c() { if(is_array(a())) { echo 'a is array'; }else{ echo 'a is NOT an array'; } if(is_array(b())) { echo 'b is array'; }else{ echo 'b is NOT an array'; } } c(); ?> $b will be returned as array without previous declaration. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 217.231.48.247 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.return.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105977 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105977/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105977/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105977/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105977/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105977/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105977/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105977 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105977 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
