Doc #52059 [Opn->Csd]: get_class() throws warning instead of false on non-object vars

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52059&edit=1 ID: 52059 Updated by: markskilbeck@php.net Reported by: shawn at thesignchef dot com Summary: get_class() throws warning instead of false on non-object vars -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux ip-10-251-67-133 2.6.21.7 PHP Version: 5.3.2 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: markskilbeck New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. Actually, get_class() does return FALSE on error. It also raises an error, as you have said. [code] <?php var_dump(get_class(array())); [/code] I have updated get_class()'s documentation to include this information.

Per documentation, it is supposed to just return false.
