Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75253&edit=1 ID: 75253 Updated by: jhdxr@php.net Reported by: Wes dot nospam at example dot org Summary: unable to call func_get_args() in a file required from within a function -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. 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 Even if you can retrieve those info from debug_backtrace(), it doesn't prove this kind call of func_get_args() should be allow. Consider if it's allowed and file1 is under namespace Foo, while file2 is non-namespaced. It will leads to an undefined behavior, see https://wiki.php.net/rfc/forbid_dynamic_scope_introspection for more info.

Test script: --------------- file1.php: <?php function bar($a, $b, $c){ require("file2.php"); } bar(1,2,3); file2.php: <?php assert(func_get_args() === [1,2,3]); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75253&edit=1
