Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/mongo.writes
---

In version 1.2.x of the driver, when performing a write operation with the "safe 
=> false" (unsafe) flag set, it would return a boolean value.
In 1.3.0 (beta2) it appears that this is no longer the case, as these operations 
have no return value (null).
While this makes sense - since we won't really know if the operation succeeded - 
this will break applications which expect that boolean return value.

Therefore this change in behaviour should be noted on the documentation page for 
mongo write operations.

This seems to be not the case in the 1.3.0 final release. It successfully reports bool(true) for me:

<?php
$m = new MongoClient();
$c = $m->selectDb(dbname())->bug605;
$c->remove();
var_dump( $c->insert( array( 'test' => 'one' ) ) );
var_dump( $c->insert( array( 'test' => 'two' ), array( 'w' => 0 ) ) );
var_dump( $c->insert( array( 'test' => 'two' ), array( 'w' => 1 ) ) );
?>

returns (as expected):

array(4) {
  ["n"]=> 
  int(0)
  ["connectionId"]=>
  int(89)
  ["err"]=>
  NULL
  ["ok"]=>
  float(1)
}
bool(true)
array(4) {
  ["n"]=>
  int(0)
  ["connectionId"]=>
  int(89)
  ["err"]=>
  NULL
  ["ok"]=>
  float(1)
}
