ID: 20265 Updated by: jellybob@php.net Reported By: adam at tux dot appstate dot edu -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Red Hat 8.0 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: PHPDoc is no longer supported, please use PHPDocumentor instead (see http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?package=PhpDocumentor and http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/ for more details.) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-05 13:34:24] adam at tux dot appstate dot edu 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. Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20265&edit=1
