 New Comment:

Can you tell me which mirror you were using when this error occurred. The link 
http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php should redirect you to one 
of 
the local mirrors like us1.php.net or ca1.php.net or just the www.php.net. I 
can 
tell you that there is no obvious cause for why this error would have occurred 
today. Voting does not require that you sign in to any system, but there are 
certain 
restrictions on voting based on IP, mirrors, and number of incoming votes.

I can see that on 2013-05-14 around the same time two votes were indeed placed 
on 
those two user contributed notes originating from the same IP address and 
mirror. 
They were both counted. Did you place the vote today or on the 14th?

Description:
------------
On the page at http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php I wanted to 
"vote up" the comment by "Steve" that "PHP does not break any rules with the 
values of true and false" and to vote down the comment by "geza at turigeza dot 
com" whose comment ignores the fact a non-empty string is TRUE.  However, in 
each case when I pressed the "up" or "down" button, a red "X" was displayed 
with a tooltip that says "Error :("

I have not tried voting on any other pages, I don't know if this is a common 
problem.

If a person has to be logged in or something to vote on comments, there should 
be annotations about that condition somewhere near the voting buttons.  
Otherwise, there should be useful error messages if something goes wrong.

Test script:
---------------
navigate to http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php
press an up or down vote button

Expected result:
----------------
vote status changed

Actual result:
--------------
red "x" displayed with "Error :(" in a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the 
"x"
