## #44259 — Mark Karpeles — 2009-06-13T08:12:25+00:00

Hello,

After extracting my freshly downloaded copy of PHP 5.3.0RC3, I decided
to read NEWS and saw something that caught my attention:

- Fixed isset() on sub-directories (isset("blah") if file "blah/foo.php"
  exists). (Greg)

Derick agreed with me on the fact this doesn't makes much sense.

While I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with isset() I decided to put
that in the subject line to make sure I get attention from the right
persons.

Anyway I guess we should fix this NEWS entry and... I'm curious about
what this was supposed to be.


Best regards,
Mark Karpeles

Hi,

This should read "Fixed isset() on phar sub-directories
(isset($phar['blah'] if file blah/foo.php exists). (Greg)"

Sorry :). I am not sure why I didn't make this clearer.
