Guys, I have just fixed a few doc files where it was stating that a function returned -1 but the sources had clear RETURN_FALSE.
Done that, I took some time to grep my phpdoc and php4 trees for -1 returns and, surprisingly, I found out that there were a few suspicious places where -1 could be better changed to RETURN_FALSE. Some of such places were FTP, pgSQL, LDAP functions. Maybe a dozen or less in total. I don't think this should be done right now, as we would directly break the backwards compatibility. But, shouldn't we be considering such consistency changes for PHP5 releases? My point is that functions behaviour consistency can be very important for many users, and breaking just a few lines of PHP4 code since first PHP5 releases would probably be a small price to pay. What do you all think? Am I saying something strategically logical or this is only my own paranoia? -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
