Weird parse error

[Alvaro G Vicario]

The following code produces a parse error:

$res=mysql_quer y($sql) or return('There was an error');

However, this works fine:

$res=mysql_quer y($sql) or die('There was an error');

I can't understand why. In case of SQL error I only want to stop executing
current function, not the whole script.

if(!$res=mysql_ query($sql)) return("There was an error");

return is a operator, that's why. Same thing would happen if you do " ... or
echo $error."

You are right: it happens with echo, exit... I didn't have the faintest
idea that you couldn't use them this way.
