Hi Richard, The patch would fix it in this case but there is an underlying change that needs sorted. zend_ini_string()'s behaviour was changed to fix http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42657 so that if the default value was NULL it would then return an empty string instead. http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/ZendEngine2/zend_ini.c?r1=1.39.2.2.2.18.2.6&r2=1.39.2.2.2.18.2.7 This broke the places that were relying on INI_STR returning the NULL?
Propably, but INI_STR is evil and should never be used anyway.
Should this fix be backed out and change ini_get and ini_set to deal with this for the userland?
Hell no. Fix places using INI_STR incorrectly instead. (as in: make them NOT use INI_STR.. :) --Jani
What is the alternative to INI_STR if you just want the value? Scott
