Bug #61378 [NEW]: php -H doesn't work

From: vrana Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 5.4.0 Package: CGI/CLI related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:php -H doesn't work Description: ------------ php -H or php --hide-args should hide passed arguments from the running script but it does nothing. I've tried it on Windows and Linux. I think that this feature can be safely removed because it doesn't work for ages (at least since PHP 5.2.10 but probably longer) and I see only a little value in it. It is also the only undocumented option at http://php.net/features.commandline.options Test script: --------------- php -H argv.php a b argv.php: <?php print_r($argv); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => argv.php [1] => a [2] => b ) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61378&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61378&r=mysqlcfg
