Just look at the source code of PHP5.6 which gets it right: http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_6/Zend/zend_constants.c#118 NULL is of type null and its value is just like its name, namely null! It may be converted to a boolean, explicitly (bool) NULL or automatically NULL < true Please fix. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67562&edit=1
