Public bug reported: Binary package hint: php5
The php5 package of ubuntu seems to have patched the function "parse_ini_file" to the state where the function returns the wrong value on failure. Documentation of the function and it's behavior: http://php.net/parse_ini_file 1) Ubuntu Release: Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 2) PHP Package: apt-cache policy php5 php5: Installiert: 5.2.6-2ubuntu4 Kandidat: 5.2.6-2ubuntu4 Versions-Tabelle: *** 5.2.6-2ubuntu4 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) Expection: <?php var_dump( parse_ini_file( '/this/does/not/exist' ) ); ?> should return "bool(false)" 4) Happens instead: "array(0) {}" is returned. The same is for parse errors (providing wrong file format). 5) cross tests: with self compiled php and php packages of another distro (Gentoo in this case) it works as expected. 6) test script self-contained test script can be found in the attachment. Another one is here: http://friendpaste.com/7KHoIbJCPCx7iDTUt6m1t0 (this simulates a parse error) ** Affects: php5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- parse_ini_file wrong return value on failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
