#48106 [NEW]: func_get_args() causes Fatal Error when used as second function parameter

From: djungowski at chip dot de Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Reproducible crash Bug description: func_get_args() causes Fatal Error when used as second function parameter Description: ------------ When func_get_args() is used as second (or third or fourth...) parameter in a function/method call, it causes a Fatal error. Yet when used as first parameter, everything works fine. No fatal error occurs when any other function is used as second parameter, so it seems to be a func_get_args() problem only. This problem also occurs in earlier PHP versions (5.2.6, 5.2.4, etc) I know this bug has been reported before (#27887), but has been closed with a - I'm sorry to say this - lame explanation. This is a bug, no matter what the documentation says. Reproduce code: --------------- function returnSomething() { return func_get_args(); } function callSomeFunction($message) { someFunction(func_get_args(), 'Hello World'); someFunction(1, returnSomething()); someFunction(1, func_get_args()); } function someFunction($code, $message) { print($message . PHP_EOL); } callSomeFunction('Hello World'); Expected result: ---------------- Hello World Array Array Actual result: -------------- Hello World Array Fatal error: func_get_args(): Can't be used as a function parameter in /home/dominik/test.php on line 12 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48106&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48106&r=mysqlcfg
