Wrong Error "Unreachable code detected"

awsupporter

I'm not sure if the following is a error from PHP Tools or from VS, so please just tell me if I'm in the wrong forum.

If I'm entering the following code in VS2019, it shows me an error in the Errorlist from VS "Unreachable code detected":

<?php
if (isset($anyid))
{
do_this_function($anyid); //<== Here is the "error"
}

If I change the code to the opposit, there is no error:

<?php
if (!isset($anyid))
{
//do nothing
}
else
{
do_this_function($anyid); 
}

thank you in advance for your comments!

Thank you for reporting the issue. Yes, all the PHP editor features come from PHP Tools :)

This seems like $anyid variable is not defined, so the editor assumes, that the code is unreachable. Although; if it is in a global code, we should not report it. We'll take a look on this case and fix it within the next update.

We have updated the analysis so this case won't be reported as a warning that often.

Although the warning is caused by the fact, that the global variable $anyid is not found anywhere in the code as initialized.

The next update fixes this.
