Doc #72905 [NEW]: Return value of FALSE on error is not documented

From: james at turnersoft dot co dot uk Operating system: Linux PHP version: 7.0.10 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Return value of FALSE on error is not documented Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.ldap-explode-dn --- The page describes the return value of ldap_explode_dn() as an array of DN components. This is not the only possibility - the behaviour is not documented that the function will return FALSE if passed a value that it is unable to parse. (The function is a wrapper to OpenLDAP's ldap_explode_dn()... return value FALSE corresponds to the underlying libldap call returning NULL.) Test script: --------------- var_dump(ldap_explode_dn("000:cn=DESCRIPTION_0",0)); Expected result: ---------------- The documentation only mentions an array as a possible return type from this function. Actual result: -------------- The test script outputs "bool(false)". -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72905&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72905&r=mysqlcfg
