#25865 [Opn->Bgs]: ini_get returns 0 not "" for boolean?

ID: 25865 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: php dot net at b-a-l-u dot de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: # php -r "var_dump(ini_get('register_globals'));" string(0) "" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-14 11:44:46] php dot net at b-a-l-u dot de 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25865&edit=1
