If you do a gettype() on defined() it returns an integer. The docs state defined() returns boolean and it makes logical sense to have defined() return boolean type. Reproduce code: --------------- echo gettype(isset($test)); echo "<br>"; echo gettype(defined("test")); Expected result: ---------------- boolean boolean Actual result: -------------- boolean integer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27443&edit=1
