From: kyle at klowell dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Documented return values for DOMNode::hasChildNodes are incorrect Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/domnode.haschildnodes#refsect1- domnode.haschildnodes-returnvalues --- Currently the page lists the following: ``` Return Values Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. ``` This is incorrect, since the method returns TRUE when the node has child elements, and FALSE when it does not. FALSE may or may not be returned by an error state, but the developer is most likely looking for the empty state. This should probably be changed to: ``` Return Values Returns TRUE if the node has children or FALSE if not. ``` -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65355&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65355&r=mysqlcfg
