I imagine this was by the zend_parse_parameters function. > Is there a way to disable it from setting values to optional parameters? 1. Read http://cvs.php.net/php-src/CODING_STANDARDS 2. Studying source code on how current functions behave 3. ask questions like this in either internals@lists.php.net or pecl@lists.php.net btw, the "l" flag expects long to be a long type, and it doesn't assign the long_len variable.
