From: Operating system: N/A PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Emit notice for NOP statement
Description: ------------ As a matter of convenience for PHP programmers, would it be possible to somehow detect NOP-type statements (see example below) and create a new notice to notify the programmer of their presence? When writing embedded code, NOP statements are often handy (or even required). However, in something as high-level as PHP, I can't see any situation where one would need such statements. Thus, whenever they DO occur it's most likely by accident (again see example below). Test script: --------------- <?php "This string was meant to be sent as output, but I forgot to echo it!"; 1+1; $variable; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Notice: Statement has no effect in (path) on line 3 Notice: Statement has no effect in (path) on line 4 Notice: Statement has no effect in (path) on line 5 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60625&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60625&r=mysqlcfg
