Most of them (70% ?) are actually having wrong protos in docs. I refer to the ones that return boolean (like phpinfo() for instance) but documented as returning an integer. This is not really a huge issue, but does make confusion because of the kind of functions that MUST return true of false (is_link() for example). -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net On 12 Nov 2002 22:59:50 +0100 Zak Greant <zak@mysql.com> wrote: > On Tue, 2002-11-12 at 20:25, David Brown wrote: > > On Tue, Nov 12, 2002 at 02:16:41PM -0500, David Brown wrote: > > | Hi everyone: > > | > > | For functions prototyped as returning void, return values seem to be applied > > | at random.
