If you look at similar functions, you will see extra parameters written like this : array list ( mixed $varname [, mixed $... ] ) so I think prototype of var_dump should become void var_dump ( mixed $expression [, mixed $... ] ) Regards, Geoffray Expected result: ---------------- void var_dump ( mixed $expression [, mixed $... ] ) Actual result: -------------- void var_dump ( mixed $expression [, mixed $expression [, $... ]] ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54768&edit=1
