Hi!
Why do functions return NULL? (I know the technical answer, obviously, I'm interested in the design decision). If FALSE is the error condition, whats the point in a separate NULL error condition?Because false is not an error condition. It's a legitimate value, which can be normal answer for many functions. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
