TYPO3 Flow Base Distribution

There is a function ini_get(...) used in

  TYPO3-Neos/Packages/Framework/TYPO3.Flow/Classes/TYPO3/Flow/Core/Bootstrap.php

The return value is checked to the presence of an empty string like this:

  if (ini_get('date.timezone') === '') {
  // payload
  }

The return value has changed for PHP Versions >=5.3.0

See PHP Changelog¹ for function ini_get(...):

5.3.0 Previously, the empty string was returned if the configuration option didn't exist. now, FALSE is returned instead.
