Description:
------------
The dir class method read works if using it just the way it is stated in the documentation, however, if I re-write it to use TRUE=== it fails. See code example:

Reproduce code:
---------------
Original Code Snippet:

<?php
$d = dir("/etc/php5");
echo "Handle: " . $d->handle . "\n";
echo "Path: " . $d->path . "\n";
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
   echo $entry."\n";
}
$d->close();
?> 


MODIFIED:
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {

TO:
while (true === ($entry = $d->read())) {

Expected result:
----------------
Expected the alternative version to return true, but it did not.

Actual result:
--------------
Code returned false.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

dir::read() returns a string with a filename, no bool.
