Doc #77064 [NEW]: Return type is contradictory
From: fabian dot picone at gmail dot com
Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: PHP Language Specification
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:Return type is contradictory
Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/datetime.format
---
This doc has something that does not match.
The description of the method is "public string
DateTimeImmutable::format ( string $format )".
But the return value is documented as "Returns the formatted date string
on success or FALSE on failure." .
What is correct now, is the return a string or mixed?
My tests showed up to result in string, could not break it to receive
bool.
So is this internally casted to string? Then you should adapt the return
documentation.
