note 48612 added to language.functions

It seems as if, with the coming of version 5, PHP no longer supports functions split over multiple blocks of code. *lines are numbered* 01: <?php 02: function example($str) { 03: ?> 04: <B>The string passed was "<?php echo($str); ?>".</B> 05: <?php 06: } 07: 08: example("Hello, world!"); 09: ?> The above code would provide the following error: <BR /><B>Parse error</B>: parse error, unexpected '}' in <B>/your/document/root/some/folders/file.php5</B> on line <B>6</B><BR /> Although the above example is very basic, making it pointless to escape from the function to print it out, imagine a case where you have a large chunk of code where there would be a lot to escape for only a few variables if you wanted to simply echo it. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.functions.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48612 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48612&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48612&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48612&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48612&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48612&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48612&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48612&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
