PHP currently says "exactly N expected" instead of "at least N expected" for functions using the ... splat/scatter operator. [I'm not seeing an existing bug for this, based on searches for "exactly" and "expected".] Test script: --------------- $ php8.0 -r 'function a($a, $b, ...$c) {} a(1);' PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function a(), 1 passed in ... line 1 and exactly 2 expected in ...:1 Expected result: ---------------- My suggestion: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function a(), 1 passed in ... line 1 and at least 2 expected in ...:1 Actual result: -------------- As noted ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80525&edit=1
