Comment (by costdev):

 I think this docs issue is unlikely to lead to a change in PHP source.
 There are open issues for other pages where nullable parameters aren't
 shown as such.

 That said, if this change is desired:

  **ini_get**
  Returns the value of the configuration option as a string on success, or
 an empty string for null values. Returns false if the configuration option
 doesn't exist. [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php
 PHP.net]

 For a `""` or `false` result, we'd have to set `$port` to `null` anyway in
 order to send the correct type to `mysqli_real_connect()`.

 {{{
 $port = ini_get( 'mysqli.default_port' );
 $port = $port ? $port : null;
 }}}
