Doc #76490 [NEW]: Documentation of Directory::read() makes no sense

From: teo8976 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Documentation of Directory::read() makes no sense Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/directory.read --- All it says is: "Same as readdir(), only dir_handle defaults to $this." That makes no sense whatsoever. readdir() expects a RESOURCE as the 'dir_handle' argument, not an object of class Directory, so there's no way that statement can be true, unless readdir($dir_handle) can also accept a Directory object as handle, which is not documented. If that is the case, then it should be properly documented in http://php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php Perhaps that was meant to read: "Same as readdir(), only dir_handle defaults to $this->handle." -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76490&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76490&r=mysqlcfg
