Hi,

Although this is not as hot as references or Unicode stuff, I would like to discuss a new topic.
Currently PHP accepts more parameters to a function than the required.
In English:
<?
function a($b) {}
a(1,2,3);
?>

PHP accepts this and generates no errors. My purpose is to start generating an E_NOTICE, just like we do for not yet initialized variables. This behaviour has already beaten me for a couple of times, because I had a program with functions with similar names, but with different number of parameters. The result for calling the wrong function? A nice infinite loop :)

I hope this is not hard to implement (maybe in the parser, to get the errors on compile time - for performance).

Regards,
Nuno
