#35915 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Documentation of `get_preview_post_link` declares missing return variable type information

Reported by: chris_dev's profile chris_dev Owned by: drewapicture's profile DrewAPicture

Description

Super simple, but I just noticed that the inline documentation for the get_preview_post_link says it returns string but actually it returns void as well.

Trivial patch attached.

It needs to be documented in which cases it returns void.

Though I think it's weird it doesn't return an empty string or false. Perhaps changing that is the better solution.

@chris_dev Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for the refreshed patch!

I added some unit tests in 35915.diff and changed the return value to null because that's what a void function returns in PHP.
