#25865 [NEW]: ini_get returns 0 not "" for boolean?

From: php dot net at b-a-l-u dot de Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: ini_get returns 0 not "" for boolean? Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php tells me that "When querying boolean values: A boolean ini value of off will be returned as an empty string while a boolean ini value of on will be returned as "1"." But echo '['.ini_get('register_globals').']'; displays '[0]' not '[]'? At least this is the behaviour I have with php-4.1.2 on debian woody. Balu PS: It'd be nice to add the hint of "beyer at <nospam>clickhand dot de" from the notes on that page regarding casting the value using (bool) to the main description. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25865&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25865&r=float
