Bug description: ini_get("allow_url_fopen") should return boolean string, not
the literal string
Description:
------------
Currently ini_get("allow_url_fopen") appears to return a literal string,
not a boolean value/string. For example, if the php.ini contains
"allow_url_fopen = on", then ini_get("allow_url_fopen") will return "on",
not "1". This is inconsistent with the documentation.
The php.ini documentation at
http://au3.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php#ini.allow-url-fopen says
'allow_url_fopen' is a "boolean" configuration directive.
The ini_get() documentation at http://php.net/ini-get says:
When querying boolean values: A boolean ini value of 'off' will be
returned as an empty string or "0" while a boolean ini value of 'on' will
be returned as "1".
Therefore, if the php.ini contains "allow_url_fopen = on", then
ini_get("allow_url_fopen") should return "1"; but it does not.
Additionally, in the php.ini itself, it lists the supported INI boolean
constants as being "On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None". It would
therefore probably be good if (in addition to the 'on' and 'off'
constants) the 'true', 'false', 'yes', 'no' and 'none' constants worked in
the same way as well.
I have written a series of small .phpt PHP unit-tests that demonstrate the
above, and I will add a URL for these in the next few minutes.
