#28016 [Opn->Asn]: is_resource() returns false for resources of type "Unknown"

Resource is still a resource even if it's closed.. Or you need to unset the variable with any 'close'.. :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-15 21:15:58] php at ter dot dk Description: ------------ (version of PHP is 4.3.6, not 4.3.6RC3, but I wasn't able to select that) If a resource for some reason is of type "Unknown", is_resource() returns false. Though, gettype() still returns "resource" as type, as always. This behaviour in is_resource() has changed between 4.3.5 and 4.3.6. I'm guessing here, but the new behaviour could be related to changes introduced to fix bug 27822 (which was fixed in between 4.3.5 and 4.3.6). In my example I'm using php-imlib to gain an object of type "Unknown". Even though it isn't an official extension, there still is some inconsistency between gettype() returning "resource" and is_resource() returning false. In other words, it's the inconsistency between is_resource() and gettype() I see as the bug. Example is also available at: http://stock.ter.dk/resource_error.php Reproduce code: --------------- $i = imlib_create_image(100,200); var_dump($i); var_dump(gettype($i)); var_dump(is_resource($i)); Expected result: ---------------- resource(2) of type (Unknown) string(8) "resource" bool(true) Actual result: -------------- resource(2) of type (Unknown) string(8) "resource" bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28016&edit=1
