Doc #67893 [Opn->Fbk]: Values of constants not listed

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67893&edit=1 ID: 67893 Updated by: sobak@php.net Reported by: teo8976 at gmail dot com Summary: Values of constants not listed -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Which of curl functions returned you an integer you need to associate with constant name? Like phpman wrote, I'm pretty sure that there is no need to know actual value. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-22 23:37:01] phpmpan at mpan dot pl Those are _CONSTANTS_. As the user you're not supposed to either know their actual values or make your code depend on them. In this particular case you are also unable to use such values anyway, since the only errors one can handle are those one knows beforehead. For debug purposes there is curl_error (<https://php.net/manual/function.curl-error.php>). Note that the upstream itself is not documenting the values on functions' return values, so it would be quite strange for PHP to document them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-22 20:02:18] teo8976 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/curl.constants --- The names of the predefined constants are listed, but their values are missing. This is ridiculous. I go to that page because I'm being returned an integer from a curl function and I wanted to check to which constant it corresponds, and that's not documented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67893&edit=1
