From:
Operating system: Linux
PHP version: 5.3.10
Package: Documentation problem
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:Return values incorrectly specified.
Description:
------------
---
From manual page:
http://www.php.net/function.feof#refsect1-function.feof-returnvalues
---
Documentation should specify that it also returns false on an invalid
filehandle, even though that is an "Error". (It does mention this below, in
a warning section, but that's different).
This insane behavior is not considered to be a bug, per:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34652
Therefore, it should at least be documented properly, so that people
checking out the return values aren't reading a complete lie.
Documentation should also specify that it returns NULL in older PHP
versions, if no arg was specified. (Reproduced in 5.2.13, not in 5.3.3).
