Description: ------------ I would like to be able to tell if a function was called from a context that is expecting a return value or not. Additionally what type is expected. eg('hello'); // called not expecting a return value echo eg('hello').' world'; // called expecting a string function eg($s) { if(return){ // suggested overloading of the return keyword to report the function context. return ($s); } else{ echo $s; } } Additionally gettype(return); and is_string(return); is_array(return); etc -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62519&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62519&r=mysqlcfg
