Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-30 09:24:17] herp@wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at hi, I tried to use some of the posix_* functions to work with user-accounts on the system, like "posix_getpwnam()" and "posix_getpwuid()". I expected to get an error-code back (like Failed or FALSE) for pwnames or pwuids which do not exist in /etc/passwd. Instead, PHP will write a warning message in my html-output: : Warning: posix_getpwuid(4711) failed with 'Success' in : /data/home/webmaster/admin/admin.php : on line 197 and, what I think is strange, will "fail with ´Success´". Could you please modify the posix_getpw* functions in a way that they 1) do not write strange warning-messages and 2) return a NULL-Value or FALSE, where the unix getpw*(3) will return NULL (just like documented in the man-page) thanks in advance, herbert rosmanith herp@wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12465&edit=1
