Doc #61911 [NEW]: Other behavior than documented

From: Operating system: Debian 6.0.4, PHP 5.3.3 PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Other behavior than documented Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.curl-setopt#refsect1-function.curl-setopt-parameters --- "CURLOPT_FAILONERROR - TRUE to fail silently if the HTTP code returned is greater than or equal to 400. The default behavior is to return the page normally, ignoring the code." It's the opposite, I had to set it to true, to not fail silently. --> it must be: "CURLOPT_FAILONERROR - TRUE to NOT fail silently if the HTTP code returned is greater than or equal to 400. The default behavior is to return the page normally, ignoring the code." Test script: --------------- <? $ch = curl_init(); //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://some.host/non-existing-ressource/"); if (!curl_exec($ch)) { echo "non existing resource"; } Expected result: ---------------- No output from the echo command. Actual result: -------------- The echo command "non existing ressource" is executed when requesting a non existing http ressource. According to the documentation this shouldnt be the case if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is TRUE. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61911&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61911&r=mysqlcfg
