Description:
------------
The manual page for preg_replace_callback() explains the return values but it doesn't say what will happen on error, e.g. bad regex or unsupported modifier.  Will it return null?  Or false?  Or something else?

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: function.preg-replace-callback#Return Values

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
