Doc #76132 [NEW]: Documentation lacks a warning about file_put_contents()

From: briethings at gmail dot com Operating system: any PHP version: 5.6.34 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Documentation lacks a warning about file_put_contents() Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.file-put-contents --- Documentation doesn't mention that, if the directory specified in $filename doesn't exist, file_put_contents() *silently* fails, with not even a notice. This can lead to situations where it may take time before realizing there is a simple type error! So IMO, at least this should be mentioned, or a notice should be thrown. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76132&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76132&r=mysqlcfg
