It would be string, if string, or array if array. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-15 09:06:32] jan dot kahoun at heureka dot cz Description: ------------ This function could be similar to C signal() function (http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Basic-Signal-Handling.html) and return the previous value of the signal handler for passed signal, or false on error. This can be helpfull when you need to restore previous handler Test script: --------------- <?php declare(ticks = 1); function sig_handler($signo) { switch ($signo) { case SIGTERM: exit; break; default: } } // this will return previous handler for SIGTERM signal $previous_handler = pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "sig_handler"); // restore previous handler $previous_handler = pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, $previous_handler); Expected result: ---------------- function pcntl_signal() returns previous value of the signal handler for passed signal on success or FALSE on failure Actual result: -------------- function pcntl_signal() returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72409&edit=1
