If yes, is it your position that marking a bug as bogus, is okay even while the API performs erroneous to the documentation? Thanks for providing yet another evidence that bug reporting is a waste of time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-16 13:23:21] felipe@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
