Description:
------------
Since bug http://bugs.php.net/43736 is called Bogus without any explaination

tony2001:

Why don't you explain WHY this isn't a bug! Obivously you've thought about it, why not explain it. What is the use of searching for bugs when the answers aren't there!!?!
The reference to reading *the manual* is just ridiculous.

Maybe you could make a Documentation Problem out of it, because I'm getting the samen NOTICE in the same situation.
