ID: 62637 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: brandonskypimenta at gmail dot com Summary: Cannot use return command with variables -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The return keyword returns a value; it doesn't print it. You should use echo or print for that.

Using return $string or return($string) will not work. Test script: --------------- <?php error_reporting( E_ALL ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); $hello = 'Hello World!'; return $hello; ?> Expected result: ---------------- The text should have appeared on the page. Actual result: -------------- Either: 1) A blank page is given to the user. 2) You get an error message meaning "unexpected T_RETURN". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62637&edit=1
