#46362 [NEW]: Misleading error message in configure script

From: max at awakers dot com Operating system: Centos 5.2 PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Compile Warning Bug description: Misleading error message in configure script Description: ------------ Refering bug #42907 When supplying bogus parameters to the ./configure script, it reports the following Notice: Following unknown configure options were used: This is a bit misleading as some people assume that it was used by the configuration script, while the message states that the user used those invalid parameters.
