I understand that it shows me a warning, but it also should return bool value as in documentation. I tested it on PHP version 7.1.33 and 7.4.7 Test script: --------------- var_dump(array_key_exists('test', NULL)); Expected result: ---------------- By documentation I am expecting to return a bool value, not NULL or you should return an exception, not warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79803&edit=1
