ID: 47664 Updated by: yohg...@php.net Reported by: wiebe at wiebelt dot nl Summary: get_class returns NULL instead of FALSE. -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed -Type: Bug +Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Class/Object related -Operating System: Ubuntu 8.10 +Operating System: any -PHP Version: 5.3.0beta1 +PHP Version: master Assigned To: dmitry Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It is documented as get_class() raise E_WARNING now. I feel E_WARNING is unnecessary for get_class() as it requires is_object() call for error free programming. e.g. factory may fail and return false when something wrong, etc. Anyway, bug is fixed and E_WARNING error is documented. If anyone feel it should not raise E_WARNING, create new entry for it. Closing. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-28 13:14:52] der...@php.net The documentation clearly states: "Returns the name of the class of which object is an instance. Returns FALSE if object is not an object." It doesn't say "shows a warning when object is not an object", so this should be fixed according to what PHP 5.2.x and the manual say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-28 13:06:48] dmi...@php.net I would prefer to stay the warning, as it indicates a problem in user code that probably need to be fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-30 12:33:05] der...@php.net I've a patch at: http://php.pastebin.com/m20d61023 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-23 11:19:37] der...@php.net This isn't fixed, the warning is still there which is a part of the problem here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-16 09:53:50] dmi...@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS.
