New Comment:
thank you, for your immidiatly response.
yes, i know that ,,return'' is a language construct. it is documented
that the parentheses are not required (1) but not
that it is necessary that there have to be an argument if the
parantheses are used.
using ,,echo()'' for example, which is a function(!), brings the same
parser error when using empty parentheses.
it seems like an error in the parser where functions or ,,language
constructs'' where the parantheses are optional.

Thank you for your report.
The behavior you report is not a bug. You call return as if it is a
function. It is not, it is a language construct.
The correct syntax is:
return 'bar';
or
return;
The parenthesis are not needed.

Description:
------------
using return() with an empty argument list is causing in a parser
error.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function foo($arg) {
if($arg) {
return('bar');
} else {
return();
}
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
no parser error :-)
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in
/usr/local/www/develop/htdocs/test.php on line 6
------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo is a language construct also, no?
