#35526 [Opn]: Behavior of ctype_* functions in PHP 5.1 is inconsistent with documentation.

ID: 35526 User updated by: scottmattocks@php.net Reported By: scottmattocks@php.net Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Patch updated on 2005-12-02 15:55 EST (GMT -500). Updated patch includes changelog for reference.xml. As recommended by Daniel Convissor, "Seems like an explanation of the pre-5.1 and post-5.1 return values would be most helpful in the returnvalues refsect." This is not included in the patch. If there is a sample of what this type of change might look like, please point me to it and I will add it to the patch file.
