Re: Type of Data Returned by a Function

I've noticed that some code analyzers comment that the type of data returned by my functions is "unknown" in the following syntax:

function fnFooBar($aryParameters) {
$bRetVal = True;
return $bRetVal;
}

I *think* I can specify that by doing something like this:

function fnFooBar($aryParameters) bool {
$bRetVal = true;
return $bRetVal;
}

Is this correct?
If so, is there a performance gain, or is it just clean coding?


There is no such construct, all types in php are pretty loose.
The only thing I can think of that might have something to do with what you say are phpdoc comments:

http://manual.phpdoc.org/HTMLSmartyConverter/HandS/phpDocumentor/tutorial_tags.return.pkg.html

Which work a treat for building some fast documentation for other coders..
