Description:
------------
$fh = fopen("", "r");
that doesn't produce an error, but doesn't return a valid stream either.
Same problem with passing NULL or ''.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$fh = fopen("", "r");

Expected result:
----------------
Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in test.php on line 2

Actual result:
--------------
nothing
