PHP 4.0 Bug #9301: Having an array and other variables as parameters to a fonction

From: jean-philippe.leveille@courrier.usherb.ca Operating system: Windows ME PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: Having an array and other variables as parameters to a fonction Hi. function search_query($mot_recherche, $champs_de_recherche, $mot_complet = "") { if (empty($mot_complet)) $nouveau_mot_recherche = split (" ",$mot_recherche); else $nouveau_mot_recherche = $mot_recherche; $m = ""; for($i=0; $i<count($nouveau_mot_recherche); $i++) { for ($j = 0; $j<count($champs_de_recherche); $j++) { $m .= $champs_de_recherche[$j]." LIKE '%".$nouveau_mot_recherche[$i]."%'"; if ($j == (count($champs_de_recherche)-1)) { if ($i<(count($nouveau_mot_recherche)-1)) $m .= " OR "; } else $m .= " OR "; } } return $m; } This fonction return a part of a MySQL query where I can search for any word of a sentence (contained in $mot_recherche which is copied to $nouveau_mot_recherche depending the value of $mot_complet. $mot_complet means (it is in french, sorry folks!) that if it is not empty, I want to search for the complete sentence in my DB.) I placed $mot_complet at the end of my argument so I don't always have to specify it. Fact is that $champs_de_recherche (which means field_of_search) that contains every field names I want to search in have an additionnal value that is $mot_complet. Imagine: if mot_complet equal "true", which means I want to search for a complete sentence in my DB, I'll have to search in every fields listed in $champs_de_recherche AND in the field name by the value of $mot_complet (where it is now "true"). So it will give me: field LIKE '%$nouveau_mot_recherche%' OR... true LIKE '%nouveau_mot_recherche%'... Understand what is the problem? I don't know if it is a real bug or if it's my code that is wrong. But having an array as a parameter in a fonction is useful and having additionnal values in this array that are every parameters declared after this array is abnormal. I've search for a solution the documentation and it seems that there is no topic about this. Anyway, I'm trying to modify my code so it will be working fine... -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9301&edit=1
