Bug #79032 [NEW]: ldap_count_entries returns NULL not FALSE

From: admin at feministwiki dot org Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS PHP version: 7.4.1 Package: LDAP related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:ldap_count_entries returns NULL not FALSE Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/function.ldap-count-entries --- When you forget to provide the first argument to ldap_count_entries (i.e. the link to the LDAP connection), it returns NULL instead of FALSE. As per documentation and consistency with other LDAP functions, it should return FALSE to indicate an error. Test script: --------------- $ldapLink = ldap_connect('localhost'); ldap_set_option($ldapLink, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3); $memberBase = "ou=members,dc=feministwiki,dc=org"; $userDN = "cn=testuser,$memberBase"; $newUsername = 'whatever'; ldap_bind($ldapLink, $userDN, '[REDACTED]'); $result = ldap_search($ldapLink, $memberBase, 'cn=$newUsername', array()); var_dump(ldap_count_entries($result)); # First argument missing. Expected result: ---------------- The function should return FALSE to indicate an error, as per documentation and consistency with other LDAP functions. Actual result: -------------- The function returns NULL. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79032&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79032&r=mysqlcfg
