PHP is not consistent in degenerate cases, so the reader might reasonably conclude that the result in the degenerate case might be NULL, FALSE or the empty string (""). In PHP 5.2, at least, the return value for the degenerate case is the empty string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52122&edit=1
