Doc Bug #40215 "Return Values" documentation needs revision in PCRE section
Submitted: 2007-01-24 05:08 UTC Modified: 2007-02-02 22:12 UTC
From: pedantic at jlevine dot oiiiio dot net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Documentation problem
PHP Version: Irrelevant OS: Windows XP Pro
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
The following pages properly document the return values of their respective functions but don't include the "Return Values" header line present on other function documentation pages. Adding this line to these pages would make their documentation easier to read:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-grep.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match-all.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-split.php

This page needs the "Return Values" line as well as clearer documentation on what values are returned:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-quote.php

In addition to needing the "Return Values" line and clearer documentation on the returned values themselves, there is a typo in the existing documentation for this page. An apostrophe is needed in "functions":
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace-callback.php

Currently reads: "...do not clutter the function namespace with a callback functions name..."
Should read: "...do not clutter the function namespace with a callback function's name..."
                  ^^^

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
