Re: [PHP] Function returning but continues execution

I added this in and it outputs 1 as I suspected - the function is being called only once.

Yes, I know it looks like a bug in my code because I'm not able to write a test case that can reproduce it simply enough to report as a bug - hence why I am posting here. However, the behaviour I am describing surely suggests some kind of issue somewhere in PHP itself.

My reasoning for this is if I echo the 2 variables I get:

Array ( [0] => 3 )
and
3

and the bug appears. But if I set them manually before the in_array test:

$_SESSION['user']['friends'] = array(0 => 3);
$friend['user_id'] = 3;

it works as expected. Am I wrong in thinking that this has to be a bug in PHP?

I have used debug_backtrace() to find out what is going on as regards how many times the function is being executed - that is the first thing I checked because it does indeed suggest that it is being executed multiple times, however, the back trace only reveals 1 call/execution.

A backtrace won't indicate multiple calls unless they are recursive. Try
add the following to your function:

<?php

static $foo = 0;
$foo++;

echo "I've been called $foo times\n";

?>

Cheers,
Rob.
