From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: PHP version: 4.3.2RC1 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Misunderstanding with "return" values
Hi, the explaination of the function var_dump() isn't clear enough (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php): ----------------- User note added ----------------- The notes for this function say: "void var_dump ( mixed expression [, mixed expression [, ...]]) This function returns structured information about..." I've never used this function before, and I don't know how it works. First it says it returns void, then it says it returns a value. Please clarify this document. ----------------- End of user note ----------------- I think he misunderstand the meaning of "This function returns". It's not the return value of the function. It's just the output it will produce. Maybe somebody could change the explaination to cleaner description.
