[SOLVED] return statement

[db_programmer]

I have been writing some PHP code, and I just recently realized that I have not been including a return statement in my functions that do not return any values.  This hasn't seemed to affect my functionality at all.

 

EXAMPLE:

function my_function($blah)
{
    //Do this
    //Do this
    //Do this
}

 

instead of

function my_function($blah)
{
    //Do this
    //Do this
    //Do this
    return;
}

 

I just wanted to know whether it made any difference one way or the other whether I include

return;

at the end of each function, or if it is unnecessary as it seems.

 

Thanks,

dbp

It isn't necessary if you are not actually returning a variable.  It just acts as a void.

Have you read the documentation - return?

Thanks, I appreciate the quick response.  I just need to make sure there are no senseless issues with my code that could have been prevented.  Since C++/Java are my first languages, it made me stop for a second.
