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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72905&edit=1
