# AssignmentToVoid
|
||
|
||
Emitted when assigning from a function that returns `void`:
|
||
|
||
```php
|
||
<?php
|
||
|
||
function foo() : void {}
|
||
$a = foo();
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Why this is bad
|
||
|
||
Though `void`-returning functions are treated by PHP as returning `null` (so this on its own doesn’t lead to runtime errors), `void` is a concept more broadly in programming languages which is not designed for assignment purposes.
|
||
|
||
## How to fix
|
||
|
||
You should just be able to remove the assignment entirely:
|
||
|
||
```php
|
||
<?php
|
||
|
||
function foo() : void {}
|
||
foo();
|
||
```
