Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.yaml-parse%23Return%20Values
---

The documentation states that "NULL is returned if the input cannot be decoded." - this is incorrect. The function actually returns FALSE for invalid input.

Test script:
---------------
// outputs "bool(false)"
var_dump(@yaml_parse("\t"));

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.
