Hello!

This seems quite odd...
In the ...

      function() or dosomething;

...construct it seems that PHP only allows the usage of standard operators and functions in the place of "dosomething", so the 'return' doesn't work at all since it's a operator-like thingy.

The following snippet will produce a parse error:
----------------------

function test(){
    return false;
};

function test2(){
      test() or return;
}

----------------------

Thanks in advance for a quick fix :)

Keep up the good work!

Tested on Red Hat

this is not implemented in php

if you want to try something like that try...

if (!test())return;

BOGUS ?
The above is just a workaround... I've used it, though it's the only reasonable way to code some routines. But it's quite a LONG workaround and makes the code quite obfuscated and unclear... not mentioning possible performance losses.

Any plans to implement that ? (haven't seen the php source yet, but I could imagine that preety simple to implement)

I'll make this a feature request/change...

Quite wierd.
Use the workaround.
