#20265 [NEW]: PHPDoc and NULL variables

From: adam@tux.appstate.edu Operating system: Red Hat 8.0 PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: PEAR related Bug description: PHPDoc and NULL variables When using the @param or @var markup and defining a type for a variable, phpdoc gives errors in it's report when the default value for a variable is NULL and it is not designated the "resource" type. IMHO NULL should be a valid value for any variable type. Ex: /** * This is a function * @param string $var1 A variable with default=NULL * @return string */ function foo($var1 = NULL) { return $var1; } The above will produce the following in the report: [function] foo mismatch 1st parameter type "$var1" does not match the the documented type "string", possible error consider an update to "@param resource $var1 A variable with default=NULL" or "@param resource A variable with default=NULL", the variable name is optional. I hope this is enough information.
