note 119921 added to function.file-put-contents

Under PHP7.0, I have seen that using an empty string as $data, the function returns FALSE instead of 0 as it should: $data = '' $size = file_put_contents($filename, $data, FILE_APPEND); if ($size == FALSE) { echo "error writing file" } Code will give error when $data is an empty string even using == operator.
