maybe it is just me and my preferred syntax/style...
if ($i < 4) {
abc_recurse();
}
return 'xyz'; # NOTICE REMOVED ()'s
Did not look to closely at your shortcut symantics to verify legitimacy
Also, unless I am mistaken, people generally advise against having a function do
output. A more appropriate syntax might be
<?
function abc_recurse($r) {
global $r;
static $i = 1;
$r.=$i;
$i++;
if ($i < 4) {
abc_recurse($r);
}
return $r.'xyz';
}
$returnvalue = abc_recurse(0);
echo $returnvalue;
?>
messy but a quick example.
