note 97316 added to function.html-entity-decode

Summary: * this function does not preserve NULL * (because) first argument is always coerced/cast to string Silvan wrote: > Passing NULL or FALSE as a string will generate a '500 Internal Server Error' (or > break the script when inside a function). (( http://php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php#49469 )) For me, no server error, but NULL and FALSE are converted to empty string. Makes sense, as the first argument is documented to be of type `string'. But it had a very unfortunate side effect for me :( That's with PHP 5.2; dunno about earlier versions. ---- Server IP: 82.177.164.100 Probable Submitter: 213.136.233.250 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97316 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97316/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97316/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97316/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97316/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97316/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97316/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97316 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97316 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
