Why return false instead of null ? Do we have a consensus about this (I can barely remind something) ? |

The documentation of ZipArchive::getStream states that a file handle or false is returned. Returning null usually occurs when a wrong parameter type is given, but that is not the case here. Alternatively, bug #67161 might be changed to doc bug, but it seems to me returning false instead of null is clearer for the user. Of course, returning false instead of null would be a BC break, but probably a very minor one. Note that a failing zip_stat() will already return false, so only if the file exists, but can't be decoded the return value would change. |

Merged against master as this would break stable branches |
