    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
    is_resoruce($resource) => FALSE

    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.
