Bug->Req #69223 [Opn]: passing extra parameters in function/method call

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69223&edit=1 ID: 69223 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: php at w3x4 dot com Summary: passing extra parameters in function/method call Status: Open -Type: Bug +Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Unknown/Other Function +Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: W7 64 PHP Version: 5.6.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is supported because PHP 5.5 and earlier used this for variadic functions, so at present this is expected behaviour. There's an open RFC at present which would address this: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/strict_argcount. I'll move this to a feature request pending the outcome of that RFC.

Note also that removing '$b=1' will result in $a being displayed in Locals window. * * I suggest that PHP should throw a fatal error when passing more parameters than the function/method expects; it seems some other (related) php problem is the cause of $a not being displayed in Locals window. * * * <SAA> */ Test script: --------------- $xyz = new Class1; class Class1 { public function __construct() { $this->_callHook(); } function _callHook(){ $ret = One::f1('a'); $ret = f1('b'); $ret = Two::f1('a'); } } class One{ static function f1(){ $a=1; $b=1; $c=2; } } function f1(){ $a=1; $b=1; $c=2; } class Two{ static function f1(){ $a=1; $b=1; $c=2; echo $a; } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69223&edit=1
