Description:
------------
This problem is related to defect 41922 and applies to both PHP5 and PHP6.

A decision has been made not to fix 41922 because of possible impact on existing applications.

I suggest that the following text is added to the documentation for ini_get().

Ini_get() will return a null string to indicate either (a) that the call to ini_get() has failed, or (b) that the value of the ini setting  is a null string. Please see here: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ini.php for a list of ini settings which have a null string as the default value.

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.

"Returns empty string on failure or for null values"
