Bug #68445 [NEW]: Optional arguments may precede required arguments in function declarations
From: ajf at ajf dot me
Operating system: OS X Yosemite
PHP version: 5.6.3
Package: Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Optional arguments may precede required arguments in function declarations
Description:
------------
Optional arguments can be specified before required arguments, which
would suggest that you can omit them. Yet, if you actually call the
function, it will complain that you didn't pass the required arguments.
The fix would be either to support optional arguments before required
arguments at call-time, or to error when this is done in a function
declaration.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
function foo($a = NULL, $b) {
var_dump($b);
}
foo(2);
Expected result:
----------------
int(2)
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Missing argument 2 for foo(), called in %s on line 7 and
defined in /in/b1HC3 on line 3
Notice: Undefined variable: b in %s on line 4
NULL
