Subject: ini_get() changes in PHP 5
From: nlopess@php.net ("Nuno Lopes")

Hello,

A user have reported a bug in the documentation about ini_get().

Check this:
<?
// if register_globals is off
var_dump(ini_get('register_globals'));
?>

outputs:
string(1) "0" in PHP 4
-and-
string(0) "" in PHP 5


I think the issue must be clarified, as if it is a a feature it is a
backward incompatible change and must be documented.
