note 110568 added to functions.user-defined

Functions seem to be declared in memory before runtime. Therefore in the previous example, B() does exist when you call it, but the second echo will not parse due to the "return" construct placed outside of the function and in the global scope. If you want the second "echo" to appear, simply remove the return. The entire script stops on the "return" being placed in the global scope, similarly to using an "exit()" call. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 72.21.198.66 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.user-defined.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110568 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110568/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110568/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110568/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110568/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110568/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110568/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110568 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110568 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
