New Comment:
Calling a function/method with invalid parameter, eg. parameters that
does not pass parameter parsing internally all return NULL. In this case
FALSE is returned if something fails after the parameter parsing have
passed.

Description:
------------
call_user_func_array() claims it "Returns the function result, or FALSE
on error."
My testing shows it returns NULL if the callback function is not a
valid callback.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function callable()
{ return 'Good.'; }
$return = call_user_func_array('callable',array());
var_dump($return);
$return = call_user_func_array('not_callable',array());
var_dump($return);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
string(5) "Good."
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First
argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'not_callable' was given in
_______ on line 9
FALSE
Actual result:
--------------
string(5) "Good."
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First
argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'not_callable' was given in
_______ on line 9
NULL
