Bug #65931 [Com]: getopt fails to return optional argument when specified

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65931&edit=1 ID: 65931 Comment by: support at shockandawemedia dot com Reported by: support at shockandawemedia dot com Summary: getopt fails to return optional argument when specified Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Variables related Operating System: Gnu Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hi, I reported it as a bug, because, at least as I understood the php manual on the function, it should have operated as I expected-- but didn't. All elements in the array should be filled in. Nonetheless, close this. I wrote a CLI handler in 40-lines that offers full fexibility. Don't you just love PCRE! Thanks.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php I think we don't support following form $ php ./gotest.php -a arg1 -b arg2 -c arg3 but $ php ./gotest.php -a arg1 -b=arg2 -c arg3 or $ php ./gotest.php -a arg1 -barg2 -c arg3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-18 22:05:19] support at shockandawemedia dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.getopt#refsect1-function.getopt-returnvalues --- This function is useless if it cannot work with optional arguments at all. Test script: --------------- <?php $argsA = getopt("a:b::c:"); var_dump($argsA); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The string value 'arg2' should have appeared in the argument array for index 'b'. Actual result: -------------- $ php ./gotest.php -a arg1 -b arg2 -c arg3 array(3) { ["a"]=> string(4) "arg1" ["b"]=> bool(false) ["c"]=> string(4) "arg3" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65931&edit=1
