I still see no point in this, as every PHP function actually returns something (at least null). So this type would not actually be right and would not reflect what actually is happening. Moreover, I don't see any scenario where some code depends on a function not returning something explicitly (i.e. does not use return value) but function actually returns something explicitly and the calling code breaks. This appears to be impossible, and thus there's no reason to declare a function "void" except purely for documentation purposes. Adding keywords to the language just to document this does not look to me like a good idea. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
