PHP Bug Type:     FDF related
Bug description:  User Contributed Notes fdf_get_value

user contributed not on fdf_get_value()
by mclinden at informed dot net

The default behavior for the FDF Toolkit is to return an FDFErcNoValue for
the FDFGetValue when the field exists but has no value.

Whether or not this is truly an error is debateable. It seems to become an
issue in documents created by Acrobat 5 when optional fields are included
in a form with required fields since the default behavior seems to be to
populate the HTTP_FDF_DATA with the results of the FDFNextFieldName
enumerator, which would include the fields which have no value.

This would not be a problem except that the PHP function fdf_get_value()
does not specifically test for the FDFErcNoValue condition but, instead,
tests for the more general FDFErcOK. If this value is not the result of
the error code, the system issues warnings (the display of which could be
turned off), but the broader question is, should this be a warning
condition at all?

Put another way, should a return of FDFErcNoValue for FDFGetValue be
considered an event worth generating a warning?
