Bug description:htmlspecialchars() optional parameters and null
Description:
------------
One would expect that when the optional $flags of htmlspecialchars() is set
to null, the behavior is the same as when the parameter is not set, so the
default value is used.
This would be useful when someone wants to set another optional parameter.
For instance, to set the $double_encode parameter:
htmlspecialchars("some text", null, null, false);
Comment:
This is a bug similar to #40531 "mb_substr optional parameters". Other
functions probably behave the same. The difficulty is that
zend_parse_argument() cannot deal with the complex type "long or null", so
extra parsing and validating is needed.
First tested on PHP 5.3.10, but same problem on 5.4.0.
Test script:
---------------
echo htmlspecialchars("l'été \"dernier\"\n");
echo htmlspecialchars("l'été \"dernier\"\n", null);
echo htmlspecialchars("l'été \"dernier\"\n", 0);
Expected result:
----------------
l'été "dernier"
l'été "dernier"
l'été "dernier"
Actual result:
--------------
l'été "dernier"
l'été "dernier"
l'été "dernier"
