It should remain the same especially as it is documented. Dmitry? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-15 17:44:48] wiebe at wiebelt dot nl The documentation says it should return false. "Returns the name of the class of which object is an instance. Returns FALSE if object is not an object." It's very inconsistent if in PHP 5.2 it returns false and in 5.3 null. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-15 15:22:38] pajoye@php.net invalid argument returns NULL, not false. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-15 15:13:59] wiebe at wiebelt dot nl Description: ------------ get_class returns NULL when using it with a string instead of FALSE.
