Bug #67154 [NEW]: ftp_nlist may return null value

From: Laurent dot Lyaudet at gmail dot com Operating system: Debian wheezy PHP version: 5.4.27 Package: FTP related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:ftp_nlist may return null value Description: ------------ According to the documentation ftp_nlist should only return array or false value but if parameters are incorrect it may return a null value (see test script). I don't know if it may be useful in some situations. Hence I don't know if the code should be corrected or if the documentation should be completed. Let me know if you think the problem is in the documentation. In that case, I'll modify it. Best regards, Laurent Lyaudet Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(ftp_nlist(false, '')); ?> Expected result: ---------------- false Actual result: -------------- null -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67154&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67154&r=mysqlcfg
