Try this to know behavior:
<?php
function resource_test($resource, $name) {
echo
'[' . $name. ']',
PHP_EOL,
'(bool)$resource => ',
$resource ? 'TRUE' : 'FALSE',
PHP_EOL,
'get_resource_type($resource) => ',
get_resource_type($resource) ?: 'FALSE',
PHP_EOL,
'is_resoruce($resource) => ',
is_resource($resource) ? 'TRUE' : 'FALSE',
PHP_EOL,
PHP_EOL
;
}
$resource = tmpfile();
resource_test($resource, 'Check Valid Resource');
fclose($resource);
resource_test($resource, 'Check Released Resource');
$resource = null;
resource_test($resource, 'Check NULL');
?>
It will be shown as...
[Check Valid Resource]
(bool)$resource => TRUE
get_resource_type($resource) => stream
is_resoruce($resource) => TRUE
[Check Released Resource]
(bool)$resource => TRUE
get_resource_type($resource) => Unknown
is_resoruce($resource) => FALSE
[Check NULL]
(bool)$resource => FALSE
get_resource_type($resource) => FALSE
Warning: get_resource_type() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in ... on line 10

This function will generate an error and return NULL instead FALSE in the next example:
<?php
$var = 3;
var_dump(get_resource_type($var));
?>

In PHP5 (on Linux), the above example identifies the "file" handler as a 'stream', not 'file'.
This can be particularly worrisome if you're trying to determine the type of stream using this function.
The alternative is to use <?php stream_get_meta_data() ?>, which returns an array containing "stream_type (string) - a label describing the underlying implementation of the stream."

Furthermore, this function returns 'stream' on php 4.3 on windows & linux.
You if you want to differentiate between a file resource and other stream resources, as stated before stream_get_meta_data() gives you an array which, on my system, contains the following elements which might suggest a file handle:
[wrapper_type] => plainfile
[stream_type] => STDIO
However I've only compared this to a stream from a url, so I include this only as a suggestion.
