A return does not terminate execution of included script.

For Example;

parent.php
<?php
	echo "Starting Parent\n";
	$m_return = include('./child.php');
	echo "Back from Child, return code $m_return\n";
?>

child.php
<?php
	echo "Starting Child\n";
	return;  // this should terminate script
	echo "What the heck? I'm still in child\n";
?>

I expect the script to terminate at the return, and "what the heck..." would never be printed.  This functioned as expected in previous versions. i.e. 4.0.6

I'm unable to reproduce this on linux:

$ cat a.php 
<?
        echo "In file a\n";

        $include = include 'b.php';

        echo "In file a, after file b returned\n";
?>

$ cat b.php 
<?
        echo "In file b\n";

        return;

        echo "Still in file b\n";
?>

$ php-4.0.6 -f a.php
In file a
In file b
In file a, after file b returned

$ php-4.2.1RC2 -f a.php
In file a
In file b
In file a, after file b returned

Can someone test this with those version on win32?

Could this by chance be a configuration issue of your php installation?

After futher investigation it seems only to happen with a when running under apache (version 1.3.22).  I'm installing a later version of apache.  I will continue with my investigation.

Thanks, please also try the cgi version.

I upgraded apache to 1.3.24 and the problem is resolved.
