From: peillert at xs4all dot nl Operating system: all PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: resource type not mentioned in proc_open
Description: ------------ the resource type of the proc_* functions are not documented in both the chapter 'CXXII. Program Execution Functions' as the 'Appendix L. List of Resource Types'. the resource type returned by get_resource_type is 'process'. i included some source-code to get that result. currently in the documentation it says: 'This extension has no resource types defined.'. also on the proc_open page there is not any mention of how the resource is called. this can be tricky if you want to check if you got the right resource. greets, Docey. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php /* */ $cmd = "ipconfig /all"; $pipes = array(); $pipespec = array(); $pipespec[0][0] = "pipe"; $pipespec[0][1] = "r"; $pipespec[1][0] = "pipe"; $pipespec[1][1] = "w"; $pipespec[2][0] = "pipe"; $pipespec[2][1] = "w"; $rc = proc_open($cmd, $pipespec, $pipes); if(is_resource($rc)){ $type = get_resource_type($rc); print("proc_open returns a resource of type '".$type."'."); }else{ print("proc_open did not return a resource."); } proc_close($rc); ?> Expected result: ---------------- the resource type of proc_open wich is not documented. Actual result: -------------- well, so see this updated in both the chapter 'CXXII. Program Execution Functions' as the 'Appendix L. List of Resource Types'. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38200&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38200&r=mysqlcfg
