PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Bug description: defined() wrong return type
Description:
------------
defined() does not return boolean, it returns an integer according to
gettype()
If you do a gettype() on isset(), it returns the type as boolean. If you
do a gettype() on defined() it returns an integer.
The docs state defined() returns boolean and it makes logical sense to
have defined() return boolean type.
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo gettype(isset($test));
echo "<br>";
echo gettype(defined("test"));
Expected result:
----------------
boolean
boolean
Actual result:
--------------
boolean
integer
