Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.getopt.php#refsect1-function.getopt-changelog Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-29 02:40:46] sciron64 at sindtech dot org Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.getopt --- http://php.net/manual/en/function.getopt.php states 3 options can be passed to getopt: "array getopt ( string $options [, array $longopts [, int &$optind ]] )" Except $optind is unable to be processed by PHP v7.0.20. To put another way, getopt only accepts _TWO_ parameters, not the documented three. Test script: --------------- <?php $optInd = -1; getopt("abcd",array("alfa", "beta", "charlie", "delta"), $optInd); Expected result: ---------------- No error message when using 3rd parameter. Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: getopt() expects at most 2 parameters, 3 given in /var/www/scripts/getopt-test.php on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74827&edit=1
