Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-04-13 17:17:32] bwoebi@php.net When you implement an interface, you always can add an optional parameter: public function count($mode = COUNT_NORMAL) { ... } should work too, when I'll fix this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-04-13 17:09:03] trainmaster at gmx dot net Description: ------------ Implementing the countable interface does not allow to use the $mode parameter of the count() function. I think it can be easily fixed without BC. Test script: --------------- class Counter implements Countable { public function count() { var_dump(func_get_arg(0)); return count($this->data); } } $counter = new Counter; count($counter, COUNT_RECURSIVE); Expected result: ---------------- // int(1) Actual result: -------------- // Warning: func_get_arg(): Argument 0 not passed to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67064&edit=1
