Bug->Doc #76325 [Opn->Ver]: getopt doesn't return false when required argument isn't provided

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76325&edit=1 ID: 76325 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: rvalihanov at a-r-b dot ru Summary: getopt doesn't return false when required argument isn't provided -Status: Open +Status: Verified -Type: Bug +Type: Documentation Problem -Package: Unknown/Other Function +Package: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Debian 8 PHP Version: 7.0.30 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is expected behavior (see also the first example[1]). getopt() does not fail if an option is missing; instead the option is not included in the return value. The function only fails (i.e. it returns FALSE), if $argv is missing (e.g. when PHP is running as Apache module). I think the documentation could be improved here.
