Req #66212 [NEW]: func-num-args, func-get-arg, func-get-args

From: Koman at koman dot com dot au Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Built-in web server Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:func-num-args, func-get-arg, func-get-args Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.func-num-args From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.func-get-arg From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.func-get-args --- As indicated in the documentation, versions after 5.3.0 generates a warning and returns -1 when used from within an include or require call. Because, I've found these functions really useful for generating debug files in complex algorythms in variable data sets, I think you should return back to the functionality prior to versions 5.3.0. Or, alternatively, organise someting along the lines of :- Test script: --------------- <?php function test_function ( &$data_list ) { static $function_name_or_handle = __FUNCTION__; $debug_data = array (); include ( vars_initial.php ); . . test algorythm . . include ( vars_final.php ); } ?> vars_initial.php and vars_final.php would utilise :- func-num-args ( [ $function_name_or_handle ] ); func_get_arg ( $arg_num, [ $function_name_or_handle ] ); func_get_args ( [ $function_name_or_handle ] ); to generate data that is used to compile a debug report. If no $function_name_or_handle is supplied then the current function is used or a warning is generated when called from within an include or require call. Expected result: ---------------- To be able to generate valid data from :- func-num-args (); func_get_arg (); func_get_args (); when called from within a include or require construct. Actual result: -------------- Error/Warning Messages. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66212&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66212&r=mysqlcfg
