Ah, you might mean str_tok()? Are there more, do you have a list?

But we're in PHP-programming-context. You write a function in PHP, you
call it and it will return once called. I see there no exeption.

I don't complain about the past. I just think now, that if it doesn't
behave like a function it shouldn't be called function. A function
which returns as an object and is not completed is not a function.

And if other languages do so, my argument will be the same.

<rising finger with epic mimic, fistulous voice> We need not to make
the same mistake again! :)
