Bug #54673 [NEW]: readdir(false) returns NULL

From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: Directory function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:readdir(false) returns NULL Description: ------------ According to http://php.net/readdir readdir "Returns the filename on success or FALSE on failure." As reported in #52383, since PHP 5.3 readdir may also return NULL on failure. The regression can be seen here: # php -r 'var_dump(phpversion(), @readdir(false), @readdir(false)===false);' string(8) "5.2.11-2" bool(false) bool(true) $ php -r 'var_dump(phpversion(), @readdir(false), @readdir(false)===false);' string(8) "5.3.6-10" NULL bool(false) According to the first bullet on http://php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php this would be an intentional change, so this would be a documentation bug. Test script: --------------- var_dump(@readdir(false)); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) Actual result: -------------- NULL -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54673&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54673&r=mysqlcfg
