I know it may break a lot of scripts that has written poorly. I'm not suggesting to change the behavior immediately, without a ini entry or build option. :) Without proper variable length parameters handling, too many parameters for a function is obvious programming mistake. This behaviour is inconsistent with functions defined by modules also. Zend is better to have option to warn, if caller called a user defined functions with too many arguments. IMHO. However PHP is scripting language, adding too many features to language is not good idea. Just a suggestion. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-04 16:06:36] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Changing this would break a lot of scripts. And what's wrong with specifying too many parameters? If you don't use them explicitly, they don't influence the function, so why care about them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-31 19:09:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently, it seems PHP is designed NOT to report errors for too many paramaters for user defined functions. "..." for variable length paramters. Raise error without "...", for example. function foo($var1, $var2, ...) assert(count(function_get_args()) <= 3); or like can be used to check num of paramters, but module functions checks num of parameters. User functions are better to behave the same way by default. IMHO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13892&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
