[PHP-DOC] #25865 [NEW]: ini_get returns 0 not "" for boolean? From: php dot net at b-a-l-u dot de (phpdoc <email protected>)
Date: 10/14/03

From: php dot net at b-a-l-u dot de
Operating system: Linux
PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: ini_get returns 0 not "" for boolean?

Description:
------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php
tells me that

"When querying boolean values: A boolean ini value of off will be
returned as an empty string while a boolean ini value of on will be
returned as "1"."

But
echo '['.ini_get('register_globals').']';

displays '[0]' not '[]'?

At least this is the behaviour I have with php-4.1.2 on debian woody.

     Balu
PS: It'd be nice to add the hint of "beyer at <nospam>clickhand dot de"
from the notes on that page regarding casting the value using (bool) to
the main description.
