#38428 [NEW]: xmlrpc_get_type(null) returns 'base64'

From: giunta dot gaetano at sea-aeroportimilano dot it Operating system: windows 2000 PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: XMLRPC-EPI related Bug description: xmlrpc_get_type(null) returns 'base64' Description: ------------ when using xmlrpc_encode(), NULL php values are converted into empty xmlrpc string values, which is a pretty sensible decision. Unfortunately, when using xmlrpc_get_type() to see what type they will be converted into, 'base64' is returned, which is not very coherent. Reproduce code: --------------- var_dump(xmlrpc_get_type(null)); Expected result: ---------------- string Actual result: -------------- base64 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38428&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38428&r=mysqlcfg
