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 assert() is just a wrapper around eval(), this isn't really a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-28 00:05:24] pornel at despammed dot com Description: ------------ func_get_args, func_num_args, func_get_arg functions executed inside assert('') work on assert's arguments, and not on arguments of function assert is in. Because assert transparently handles variables scope, one could expect that it works transparently on arguments as well. With all PHP functions accepting variable number of arguments and only basic type hints, such assertions are quite important. Reproduce code: --------------- function test() { assert('func_num_args()==2'); } test('one','two'); Expected result: ---------------- nothing Actual result: -------------- assertion fails ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35434&edit=1
