Description:
------------

From manual page: http://www.php.net/reserved.constants
---
NULL (boolean)
See Null.


Just look at the source code of PHP5.6 which gets it right:
http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_6/Zend/zend_constants.c#118

NULL is of type null and its value is just like its name, namely null! It may be converted to a boolean, explicitly (bool) NULL or automatically NULL < true

Please fix.  Thank you.

Oops, the system chose the wrong canned message! Thanks again for noticing this issue!

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.
