When given incorrect arguments, most PHP functions will return NULL and raise a warning. See the note about this on http://php.net/functions.internal NULL as return on failure is also documented in libcurl docs: > > http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/**curl_escape.html<http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_escape.html> > If you check php-src, you'll see the functions return FALSE when cURL's curl_easy_(un)escape() returns null. As I said, they're minor issues and you look to be getting the hang of how things work. I would support giving you commit karma, to be able to push these changes to the docs yourself. Cheers, Peter
