From: vosa at binaryparadise dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:more accurate return value for readdir()
Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.readdir#refsect1-function.readdir-examples --- >From documentation: "Returns the entry name on success or FALSE on failure." Function returns NULL instead of FALSE in case of bad dir_handler. I think it should be mentioned in documentation at least. If dir_handler is not exactly resource, then i.e.: "while(FALSE === readdir('definitely_not_handler'));" can end very badly. Test script: --------------- var_dump(readdir('definitely_not_handler')); Expected result: ---------------- FALSE Actual result: -------------- NULL -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64989&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64989&r=mysqlcfg
