Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

php -r 'exit(0);' ; echo $?

I see in the manual where it say return will end the execution if it is in the top level function or a script but it does not state what it does with the return value explicit for a script. When filling this bug I referred to C++ where a return 1 in the main function would result in a exit code of 1 being seen on the shell.
