Well, this would be my first time contributing to any discussion on this list since I joined, but I have a question.
It was suggested that this be implemented in PHP 5.0.0. Isn't PHP 5 so much different than PHP 4 that scripts would have to be somewhat rewritten for it anyway? (I'm not saying that PHP 5 is totally different, just different enough.)
For PHP applications which are mostly functional there will be very little which will need to be fixed (if at all). Many OOP applications will also work and only some will need fixing. There will hopefully be a relative small amount of BC problems, and where BC was broken it was usually only when it was crucial.
I don't think I've had any experince with those functions returning FALSE for me, but I think it's more logical that they differentiate between the FALSE and the NULL for the reasons stated above.
How is this dealt with today?
