From: Operating system: all PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Zlib Related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:gzinflate return values don't match docs
Description: ------------ gzinflate is supposed to return false if it tries to inflate something that's not valid deflated data. It does this on PHP 5.2, but returns an empty string in 5.3. This is either a docs problem or a BC break between 5.2 and 5.3. I can't find anything in bugs, docs, release notes or the 5.2 to 5.3 upgrade guide about this. Test script: --------------- <?php $a = gzdeflate('abc'); $b = gzinflate($a); var_dump($b); $c = gzinflate('abc'); var_dump($c); ?> Expected result: ---------------- (I get this under PHP 5.2.4 on linux) string(3) "abc" PHP Warning: gzinflate(): buffer error in test.php on line 5 bool(false) Actual result: -------------- (I get this from PHP 5.3.2 built from MacPorts on OS X) string(3) "abc" string(0) "" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51650&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51650&r=mysqlcfg
