I reported as a feature requesting but not a bug.
In php manual it documented a return value of FALSE, but in that file it
RETURN_TRUE without checking if syslog()/std_syslog() works.
I just want a RETURN_FALSE after checking the return value of
272 php_syslog(priority, "%s", message);

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
Parsing parameters is a special case:
"Note: If the parameters given to a function are not what it expects,
such as passing an array where a string is expected, the return value of
the function is undefined. In this case it will likely return NULL but
this is just a convention, and cannot be relied upon."

Description:
------------
Sorry for the 'Package affected' select, network related is selected due
to the syslog() in php manual
in line 273 of ext/standard/syslog.c, i found following code:
[code]
272 php_syslog(priority, "%s", message);
273 RETURN_TRUE;
[/code]
while in http://cn.php.net/syslog, it writes:
[code]
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
[/code]
Another return value is null from :
[code]
267 if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "ls",
&priority,
268 &message, &message_len) == FAILURE) {
269 return;
270 }
[/code]
null is returned only if there is a parameter error.
Can your bring a FALSE returned by php's syslog();
Test script:
---------------
null
Expected result:
----------------
null
Actual result:
--------------
null
