#29714 [NEW]: getopt does not reset

From: lists at cyberlot dot net Operating system: Fedora Core 2 PHP version: 5.0.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: getopt does not reset Description: ------------ You can only call getopt a single time and get results. Getopt should reset what ever pointers it uses to ensure state is as it was prior to calling getopt. An example.. A modular based system using a config file or command line to load a module, It is impossible for the module to use getopt to look for module specific settings because getopt has already been called by the main engine. ./engine -loadmod abc -abcdb 123 It is impossible for mod abc to realize it needs to load database 123 because any attempts to run getopt based on those new params fail. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $cl_input = getopt('c:h'); print_r($cl_input); $cl_input = getopt('c:h'); print_r($cl_input); ?> Expected result: ---------------- [root@fs streams]# php test.php -c 1 Array ( [c] => 1 ) Array ( [c] => 1 ) Actual result: -------------- [root@fs streams]# php test.php -c 1 Array ( [c] => 1 ) Array ( ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29714&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29714&r=float
