Description:
------------
The documentation suggests the default value of the last parameter in the imap_open function is NULL.

imap_open ( string $mailbox , string $username , string $password [, int $options = 0 [, int $n_retries = 0 [, array $params = NULL ]]] ) : resource

However entering NULL as the value for that parameter produces the following error:

imap_open() expects parameter 6 to be array, null given

Test script:
---------------
imap_open('{imap.example.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX', 'username', 'password', 0, 0, null);

Expected result:
----------------
Based on the documentation, it should allow NULL as a value. Otherwise the documentation should be changed to show this parameter as an empty array.

For all practical purposes, the default value is actually an empty array.

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.
