note 77215 added to function.fopen

Interesting: Does anyone have any idea why var_dump and var_export would treat a file object differently, or why it is not treated as an object? $myfp = fopen("somevalidfile.txt","w"); echo "A var_dump: "; var_dump($myfp); echo "\nA var_export: " . var_export($myfp,true) . "\n"; if(is_object($myfp)) { echo " IS OBJECT\n"; } else { echo "NOT OBJECT\n"; } This prints: A var_dump: resource(17) of type (stream) A var_export: NULL NOT OBJECT ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 68.193.227.211 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77215 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77215/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77215/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77215/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77215/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77215/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77215/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77215 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77215 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
