Some other classes are in the same situation too, like DateTime. Including the return value is fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-03-26 16:46:15] phpbugs at personal dot formauri dot es Yes, my apologies. I was testing with mysqli_connect() and I believed the manual when it said that it was an alias of mysqli::__construct(). So I guess that mysqli_connect() should have a separate documentation if it handles the return value differently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-03-26 15:52:22] requinix@php.net I believe phpbugs means the mysqli_connect function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-03-26 15:49:18] danack@php.net Please could you provide a reproduce case, just to make adding a test be trivial. I think this behaviour is a bug since this RFC was passed: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/internal_constructor_behaviour ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
