ID: 60779 Comment by: phpmpan at mpan dot pl Reported by: wojtos at gmail dot com Summary: Incorrect return value for getprotobyname Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *Network Functions Operating System: Debian Squeeze PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is not a bug in `getprotobyname`. It's a bug in documentation for the function. `getprotobyname` returns `FALSE`, not 0 in case of an error. I will fill a report for that in a moment. You can close this one.
