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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76674&edit=1
