Bug #76674 [NEW]: Error message should be more detailed

From: teo8976 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 7.3.0alpha4 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Error message should be more detailed Description: ------------ EVERY TIME something is not what is expected to be, the error message should say both what it should have been, and what it was instead. I f***ng hate when an error message gets so close to giving me the all the needed information, but it deliberately omits one tiny but crucial bit of detaildetail, that it would have cost nothing to include. Test script: --------------- $a=array(1,2,3); $b='this is a string'; array_intersect($a, $b); Expected result: ---------------- The error message should be something like: "Warning: array_intersect(): Argument #2 should be an array, string given instead" Actual result: -------------- The error message is: "Warning: array_intersect(): Argument #2 is not an array" WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT THE F*** IT IS? -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76674&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76674&r=mysqlcfg
