Bug description: class_exists strange behaviour
Description:
------------
class_exists with return appears to avoid setting a variable after a class
definition.
Avoiding the return inside the if block like work as expected:
<?
if(!class_exists('newclass')){
class newclass(){
}
}
$var_newclass = "newclass ok\n";
?>
But I couldn't find anything in the documentation explaining this
behaviour.
Reproduce code:
---------------
"class.php"
<?
if(class_exists('newclass')){
return;
}
class newclass{
function newclass(){
echo "hi\n";
}
}
$var_newclass = "newclass ok\n";
?>
"test.php"
<?
include("class.php");
new newclass;
echo $var_newclass;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
hi
newclass ok
Actual result:
--------------
hi
