Description: ------------ defined() does not return boolean, it returns an integer according to gettype() If you do a gettype() on isset(), it returns the type as boolean. If you do a gettype() on defined() it returns an integer. The docs state defined() returns boolean and it makes logical sense to have defined() return boolean type. Reproduce code: --------------- echo gettype(isset($test)); echo "<br>"; echo gettype(defined("test")); Expected result: ---------------- boolean boolean Actual result: -------------- boolean integer
