Hi!
While it's clear that passing e.g. an array falls into the scope of that
general note, it doesn't say anywhere on that page that a string value
which contains "\0" is "not what it expects", and I don't think I would
ever have guessed that before reading this thread.
So I stand by my assertion that this behaviour was both undocumented and
unexpected.
You may assert anything, but it's a fact that PHP functions have
returned nulls on bad values since forever. The manual may tell you not
to rely on that, but that's still what they did. It's not like it
suddenly happened out of nowhere. It has been the case for ages.
