#36991 [NEW]: Passing illegal parameter to function should generate WARNING

From: gk at proliberty dot com Operating system: Red Hat Linux 9 PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Passing illegal parameter to function should generate WARNING Description: ------------ When you pass an illegal parameter to a function - i.e., a parameter not specified in the function declaration - php should issue a WARNING, or at least a NOTICE, error message. This type of error-checking should be analagous to the WARNING which IS issued when a required parameter is NOT included in a function call. See example below. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); function foo(){} foo(true); function bar($bar){} bar(); /* OUTPUT: Warning: Missing argument 1 for bar() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/test.php on line 7 EXPECTED OUTPUT: Warning: Illegal argument 1 for foo() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/test.php on line 4 Warning: Missing argument 1 for bar() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/test.php on line 7 */ ?> Expected result: ---------------- Warning: Illegal argument 1 for foo() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/test.php on line 4 Warning: Missing argument 1 for bar() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/test.php on line 7 Actual result: -------------- Warning: Missing argument 1 for bar() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/test.php on line 7 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36991&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36991&r=mysqlcfg
