sapi/cli/php -v
PHP 5.4.16 (cli) (built: Jun 18 2013 09:34:40)

Instantiating ResourceBundle class, a "new" operator should never return null.

http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php#language.oop5.basic.new

"To create an instance of a class, the new keyword must be used. An object will always be created unless the object has a constructor defined that throws an exception on error."

This behaviour it's also verified by Symfony team https://github.com/symfony/Intl/blob/master/ResourceBundle/Reader/BinaryBundleReader.php


Test script:
---------------
sapi/cli/php -r 'var_dump(new \ResourceBundle("ANY WRONG PATH", "it"));'



Expected result:
----------------
Thrown some exception

Actual result:
--------------
NULL

Seems it is not the only class which has such behavior.

Similar behaviour has been verified with NumberFormatter class

There is a respective RFC[1], which is likely to pass, in which
case this bug can be closed.

This is implemented in PHP 7, where all constructors now either succeed or throw an exception.
