This results in impossibility to call exif_read_data having different values for parameter 3&4 but sticking to the null default of parameter 2. Test script: --------------- declare(strict_types=1); // This errors out but should not. exif_read_data('image.jpg', null, true, false); // This is a workaround currently in use as internal functions are not affected by strict_types per https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74750 call_user_func('exif_read_data', 'image.jpg', null, true, false); Expected result: ---------------- Data should be extracted. Actual result: -------------- TypeError: exif_read_data() expects parameter 2 to be string, null given ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78052&edit=1
